Pleasant comedy doesn't quite reach its target of screwball status, but it's not bad. Starr is most memorable as one of the sisters, and Hymer as a boxer trying to turn into a Shakespearean actor has some good lines.
Fifty B movies -- including some classics like Detour and Algiers -- to play as background while working at the computer.
