Product Description

What's Cookin'? (1942)

Director:

Edward F. Cline    

Writers:

Edgar Allan Woolf (story),  Jerome Cady (screenplay)  

Stars:

The Andrews Sisters,  Jane Frazee,  Robert Paige
 
 
There's plenty cookin' in this brisk, breezy Andrews Sisters vehicle. The plot, such as it is, concerns the efforts by a group of entertainers to package a weekly musical radio show. Their biggest obstacle is a lack of sponsorship, but this is overcome when eccentric business executive J. P. Courtney (Charles Butterworth) agrees to pony up the necessary dough on behalf of his talented niece Sue (Gloria Jean). Within its tightly packed 69 minutes, What's Cookin' is able to accommodate a romantic subplot, comedy relief, and a plethora of musical numbers. The stellar (and quite topheavy) supporting cast includes Jane Frazee, Robert Paige, Billie Burke, Donald O'Connor, Franklin Pangborn, Grace McDonald, Leo Carrillo, the Jivin' Jacks and Jills, and even Woody Herman and His Thundering Herd. Imagine what a lineup like that would cost a radio sponsor today!

  1. These movies with the Andrews Sisters blur in my mind 3 Star Review

    Posted by on Jan 25th 2023

    but if you like The Andrews Sisters, then this would be an ok product. Some of their films, (and some of these prints) range from poor to acceptable. Also worthwile for the films that also star Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan, whom O'Connor said was his favorite dancing partner. One (or more) of these DVDs,also starred Gloria Jean, if anybody is curious about her.
