Tossup

This film was mysteriously nominated at the 1942 Academy Awards for “Pig Foot Pete,” a song that does not appear in this film. A disclaimer in this film states any similarity between it and a motion picture is purely coincidental. Two characters in this film interrupt a sappy duet to tell a boy named Stinky Miller to go home to his mother. This film opens with several chorus girls descending a staircase that abruptly turns into a slide and explodes. This film includes an acrobatic dance number performed by maids (15[1])and cooks played by (*) Whitey’s Lindy Hoppers. In this film, Ole and Chic (10[1])often turn toward the camera to yell at Louie, this film’s inept projectionist. For 10 points, what self-referential farce has a title number sung by kitschy demons? ■END■
