Hellzapoppin' background

Hellzapoppin'

Charismatic comedians Olsen and Johnson bring their stage play to the big screen, spinning a romantic tale of youthful love that playfully subverts traditional narrative norms by frequently addressing the audience directly.

In this absurd comedy, two friends, Ole and Chick, are struggling to make a movie, but the director is unhappy with their work. A young writer is brought in to help, and he creates a bizarre story for them to follow. The plot centers around Jeff and Kitty, who are trying to launch a musical revue in their garden, with the goal of bringing it to Broadway. However, their plans are complicated by a cast of eccentric characters, including a rival suitor, a lovesick Russian count, and a detective. As Ole and Chick try to navigate the chaos, they begin to doubt whether Kitty is the right woman for Jeff, and they start to sabotage the show. But just as they think they've foiled the plan, a Broadway producer becomes interested and signs a contract, leading to a series of unexpected twists and turns.
