[pbradford021]

Saw this on the BIG SCREEN at art-house theatre i go to.. great one liners, a giant slap-stick, laced with dancing and music from a bygone era. a true wild ride the resonates but sadly no one hears the fantastic rumblings

[verbusen]

wow! thats some wild stuff! i want to see more

[45allmagic]

I am 76 and remember when they had this on TV in the mid 40s

[Chesterton7]

my favorite movie

[theHellzapoppin]

dad said : have you met miss jones? and I coud not stop laughing. 40 years ago...

[duaneandfloppy]

How can I see the whole movie? I love this first reel!

[Jellyfish60]

8:33 is that Rosebud from "Citizen Kane"?

[KMO325]

@Jellyfish60 That means Citizen Kane's ending was ruined/spoiled the year it came out.

[Chesterton7]

@Jellyfish60 YES!

[jogiff]

@Jellyfish60 What is Rosebud?

[rolko52]

@jogiff - Rent "Citizen Kane".

HELLAZAPOPPIN 1941 a classic a great broadway show 1938-41 OLSON&JOHNSON owned the town the Universal made atrempt to dulpicate the success just so so but with Hugh Herbert what a funny film, i love it. We need more teams like Ole 7 Chic. tomkes film tv historian

[semafore]

That's funny. Looks at the sled and says "Thought they burnt that"

[ElFantadu]

Das beste was einem Film passieren kann, ich liebe ihn seit meiner Kindheit und finde immer noch neue Gag´s - Gibts den auch auf CD?

[JLogic72]

O&J were some of vaudeville's best back in the day. The material never translated well to tv & film. Anyone posting or commenting on Youtube was not alive to see them, live and in their prime. Vaudeville is a lost comedy form, that doesnt work by todays standards.

[143AC]

Dear Triso,

 Since when were John Olson and Hal Johnson ever really funny?! Especially in this crappy screen version of their stage musical "Hellzapopin!"?

[BlueCougar]

OSCAR! OSCAR!

Mrs Jones! Mrs Jones!

[diddymuck]

actually for the era this was riotous; similar to the Zucker Bros. works.

[rowbyrowby]

This film was based on the stage play HELLZAPOPPIN stage review. From all notices it was an incredibly funny show. Unfortunately in the translation to film Olson & Johnson ran into considerable interference from the motion picture studio. So don't base your opinion of Olson & Johnson on the film version of their stage show.

[triso666]

Olsen & Johnson are remarkably unfunny in this.

[tzkal]

Came from TV tropes. "Thought they burnt that."

[Pulsica01]

this is sick !!!! =D

[143AC]

Shemp Howard was also funny working on his

own..too bad he was not able to to be seen at his

best in this crap from John Olsen and Hal Johnson.

[petmanot]

Zebonaut,

You do recognize Shemp then in the opening right!!!

For a diehard Stooges fan one line from Shemp makes the whole flick. (well at least it does for me)

[143AC]

Dear Zebonaut,

Among today comedy performers..I consider

Billy Crsytal,Whoope Goldberg,Rowan Atkinson,

John Candy and Tracy Ullman funny. From The past I consider L&H,A&C,The Three

Stooges,The East Side Kids,The Bowery Boys

Funny..Not Olsen and Johnson.

[hfrdevelin]

@143AC at 7 meat the 3 sstoogees on the back of the stage in the flatbush theatre on the road with tobacco road...didnt know them yet....over

[gregoryagogo]

I bought the DVD because of the dance sequence from youtube... WOW... is this movie jam-packed with everything--just when it you thought it had it all they stuck a conga in too!! I think it's one of my all time favorite movies! Love it--I'm glad it's in my collection! Love the tree-gag!!

[cyryc]

@gregoryagogo Ha ha ha you missed! You need glasses! -- Imagine that, a talking bear! XD

[cinema901]

please uploadig this movie whole book.

i want to watch this movie whole size version.

[gregoryagogo]

Well!

[zebonaut]

I am really interested what you consider FUNNY now..

would you please tell me?

[felixjazzage]

"Hey, we're making a motion picture here!"

"That's a matter of opinion!"

*LOL*

[muddbutts]

Elisha Cook Jr! 9 min mark. This is so awesome. I have to see this.

[eximod]

OMG! That's the screwiest screwball comedy I've ever seen! As a projectionist I appreciate the theater humor a lot. No, there aren't any rewind buttons on projectors! Hahahah!

I can't wait to see this whole movie. I hope it never settles down and gets a real plot.

[MrHanMi]

Unfortunately, it does.

[claudja777]

sometimes it does, but there are still some pretty amazing moments...i sow this movie on a late night I was just AMUSED !

one of my fav scene is the one with the big ice...

sometimes has his yawn moment due tot he fact it was conceived as a half musical...but for those years is super funny

[billybeyond]

i love learning
