An obvious remake of the Marx Brothers with Lucille Ball in 1937's "Room Service."
Song and dance man George Murphy is adequate here in the role made famous of Groucho Marx. The part required to be zany and Murphy tries to even play it straight.
Sinatra is good as the crooner involved in all the mayhem, but Walter Slezak and A. Menjou as hotel honchos really steal the show.
The zany tale involving play investments, a hotel being used to stage a show, a wily Murphy concocting Sinatra to be ill at the hotel to avoid conviction,they all over-shadow the nice singing and dancing.
