She asks for a ride. He obliges, ever the gentleman despite being a nervous hypochondriac come west to Arizona to take a cure. Now everyone thinks theyâve eloped, and a passel of angry folks is in pursuit! As the health worrywart, irrepressible Eddie Cantor is in a hilarious fix all the way up to his famed banjo eyes in this adaptation of his Broadway smash thatâs the first of Cantorâs highly successful partnerships with producer Samuel Goldwyn. The songs include the ribald âMakinâ Whoopeeâ and âMy Baby Just Cares for Me,â the dance sequences are staged with pizzazz by first-timer Busby Berkeley, the leggy Goldwyn Girl chorines include young Betty Grable, and the photography is a then-rare Technicolor® -- all perfectly paired with Cantorâs exuberance and warmth. Some of the filmâs attitudes and insensitivities are reflective of its time, but thereâs much for classics fans to enjoy again and again in Whoopee!
