Whoopee

She asks for a ride. He obliges, ever the gentleman despite being a nervous hypochondriac come west to Arizona to take a cure. Now everyone thinks theyve eloped, and a passel of angry folks is in pursuit! As the health worrywart, irrepressible Eddie Cantor is in a hilarious fix all the way up to his famed banjo eyes in this adaptation of his Broadway smash thats the first of Cantors highly successful partnerships with producer Samuel Goldwyn. The songs include the ribald Makin Whoopee and My Baby Just Cares for Me, the dance sequences are staged with pizzazz by first-timer Busby Berkeley, the leggy Goldwyn Girl chorines include young Betty Grable, and the photography is a then-rare Technicolor -- all perfectly paired with Cantors exuberance and warmth. Some of the films attitudes and insensitivities are reflective of its time, but theres much for classics fans to enjoy again and again in Whoopee!
