Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was inspired by the popular thirty-minute morning radio program "Breakfast in Hollywood", created, and hosted by Tom Breneman and broadcast from 1941 to 1948 on three different radio networks: NBC, ABC and Mutual. After Breneman died in April 1948, other hosts, including Garry Moore, stepped in as replacements, but without Breneman the ratings dropped, and the program came to an end in January 1949.

Featured review
There's only one thing good about this movie--actually two--the inclusion of special musical guests Nat King Cole and his Trio and Spike Jones. Anyone who likes the nostalgia involved with Spike and his crazy band of loonies, will be happy to know that there were no electronic gimmicks used in these performances.
Every pistol shot, gurgle, burp, and every other noise is supplied live and in real time by Spike and members of his crew. The fact is, these were top notch professionals who were highly trained in their art. They went through hours of rehearsal just to get their parts down right.
That's all I can say about the film which is now in a box set of 49 other "musical" films from the 20s-to the 60s...
