Not to be confused with a feeble RKO comedy of the same title made in 1942, this is Bob Hope's third My Favorite outing, directed this time by Norman Z McLeod, and with the stunningly beautiful Hedy Lamarr following in the footsteps of Madeleine Carroll and Dorothy Lamour as the comedian's co-star. The nonsensical plot has Hope as a minor-league vaudeville comic being persuaded to take the place of an agent in Tangier and foil a conspiracy. Less funny than its predecessors but offering some adroit slapstick, the star's fans will enjoy it.
