That's Right - You're Wrong [1939] [DVD]Kay Kyser (actor) Adolph Menjou (actor)
Format: all-region dvd (worldwide) Runtime: 93 min Quality: Very Good 4:3. (TCM logo)
The first - and best - of an increasingly inane series of comedy musicals starring popular radio bandleader Kay Kyser. Here, Kyser makes his screen debut with his musicians and his nonsensical "Kollege of Musical Knowledge" quiz. The plot involves a reluctant Kyser being lured to Hollywood, where producer Adolphe Menjou is under orders to star him in a hit. Chaos and confusion ensue when the scriptwriters (Edward Everett Horton and Hobart Cavanaugh), confronted with the nondescript, bespectacled Kyser, are unable to come up with a plot. A mix of childish rubbish with a nice spoof on Hollywood studio execs and methods, directed by David Butler, whose brainchild this money-spinner was. |
