The RKO perennial turned into a vehicle for Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone, who play themselves – as does Cecil B de Mille! Benny offers to stay the night at de Mille's place and come up with a story - if he does so, de Mille will cast him in a film. It's a convoluted set up - even more than the original play - but once it gets going the action flies by and Benny is fun. Good fun. Perhaps one twist too many at the end.
