Sequel to "Curtain Call" is very different in style

This sequel to "Curtain Call" is a much broader comedy with Mowbray and MacBride camping it up something shocking in a silly story about impoverished theatrical producers trying to raise money for a new Broadway play from a Miss Havisham-like recluse (Risdon). The pair aren't great comic actors and it's easy to see why the partnership didn't survive this film. But Mowbray gets to perform a very long variation on the old gag in which a hammy stage actor refuses to lie down when shot. It may once have raised a laugh or two. Otherwise the direction is terribly slow for this kind of lowbrow farce. The supporting cast are nobodies.

some very funny scenes

I caught the second half of this on tv once and thought is was absolutely hilarious, the scene where a bad actor refused to die on stage had me laughing very loudly, and other scenes were amusing too.

Perhaps not for everyone, but I thought it was great and would love to see it again.

Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Kitty O'Neil (Amazon), Gene Collins (Dead end kid) and Alee Luke (Waiter). In addition Carol Hughes was in a Hollywood Reporter production chart, but she did not appear in the film either.
