Ellen Drew and Kay Kyser in My Favorite Spy (1942)

Review by SnoopyStyle

My Favorite Spy

6/10

Kay Kyser espionage comedy

Band leader Kay Kyser is late to his wedding. After rushing to his wedding, he's quickly off to the Army. His enlistment seems to be a mistake but his superiors have another job for him. He's recruited into the secret service but he can't tell anyone. He gets a sexy contact which becomes a problem with his new wife.

Kay Kyser has his brand of very mild sense of humor. This is one of his many mildly amusing films. He's trying to contribute to the war effort in his own ways. As propaganda, the military makes a silly mistake to start the premise and the secret service requires the help of this mild-mannered amateur for some reason. I don't think they are well-served but there is nothing fatal. I would also think that this would be more compelling if it's not set in America. The wife is fun... at first. At some point, she has to figure out the situation much sooner and she's screaming her head off for no reason. I don't see why she's trying to Kay with the vase unless she assumes it to be a trick vase. This is a strange mix of light comedy and dark noir espionage film during a time of real world war.
