It starts at 5:15 P.M. This 1959 movie stars Louis Prima and his wife at the time Keely Smith and was unfortunately the only movie they made together. They appeared in many television variety shows and on stage performances. He was a swing type bandleader, songwriter, musican and singer. He sang and moved with great energy. She was a great singer but usually was dead pan with him and they were perfect foils for each other. They didn't have much experience in acting of course but they are good in this movie together and their songs in it are great. Their songs combined great singing and humor. You wil like them.
For a sample of their singing you can go to Youtube and on search just type in Louis Prima and Keely Smith. Unfortunately they divorced in 1961. Their humor and singing was copied by Sonny and Cheer a few years later on television.
If you have never seen them don't miss this movie!
