Strike Me Pink (DVD)

<p>Ethel Merman reunites with her Kid Millions costar Eddie Cantor in this frothy bit of film fable from celebrated director Norman Taurog and legendary producer Samuel Goldwyn. Ol' Banjo Eyes stars as meek Eddie Pink, who, thanks to a mail-order assertiveness course, ends up managing an amusement park beset by the mob. While doing his best to transform from milquetoast to manly, Eddie stymies the slot-machine gangsters while falling head over high-kicking heels for lovely chanteuse Joyce Lennox (Merman). In addition to Eddie's antics- climaxing in a spectacular chase across the amusement park rides - viewers are treated to rousing renditions of toe-tapping favorites like The Lady Dances, First You Have Me High, Calabash Pipe' and Shake It Off With Rhythm. And that's not to mention appearances by Parkyakarkus, William Frawley, Brian Donlevy and the always lovely Goldwyn Girls.</p>
