Without the talent of Bob Hope this picture would be one dull thud. It has very forced situations, a yarn that makes absolutely no sense, and not much acting from the other members of the cast. But Hope is magnificent as a WW II war correspondent fired for forgetting to announce that
Hitler has invaded Russia. He then goes about trying to prove himself a worthy reporter by uncovering a Nazi spy ring. And the way he goes about doing so is quite bizarre to say the least, taking him from impersonations of Veronica Lake to posing as a wax mannequin, and a few other things that
only Hope can do without looking totally ridiculous. The film--its title was the same as that...
