Doggone this dang blasted depression. Who started it anyway?

Nobody knows. It's all a mystery. Some say financing the war by borrowing from the people caused it. Some say lack of confidence. Others say buying on credit did it. Still others blame our generosity to Europe. The Republicans blame the Democrats. The Democrats blame the Republicans. Management blames labour and labour blames management. Only one thing we're sure of. We're all broke.

The Inside Story

This is a message film, as Dwan&apos;s independent post-war work would become increasingly in the 1950s. It struck me as an economics lesson on the velocity of money which I have heard as a one-minute burlesque joke, stretched out to a ninety-minute radio script and then given flawless movie visuals by Allan Dwan and his team. The youngsters play their roles seriously, except for Marsha Hunt, who shows a flair for comedy; I did enjoy the constant abuse of William Lundigan, the most wooden of would-be stars of the 1940s. 

The old pros include Charles Winninger, who plays the Cornball Coot; Gene Lockhart, who runs through his apoplectic octuple take several times; Alan Jenkins in full Damon Runyon mode; Roscoe Karns, who reruns his character from IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT; and Florence Bates, who must have ruined many a take bursting out laughing. I know how she felt. I kept giggling, as did the rest of the audience.
