    Sadly, another rather uninspired comedy romp trying hard to exploit the talents of Richard Hearne - and in this case, Francis L. Sullivan - but let down badly by a really poor script and too many slapstick sketches. Once again, Hearne is cast in two roles and has to juggle both identities in an overly convoluted plot that is both immediately obvious and, I'm afraid, unfunny. I can't imagine there was much of a budget nor time to put much creative effort into this wartime effort, so bearing that in mind it could well have been worse - but it is little better than a curio of the times, now....
