Movie Reviewed: Annabel takes a tour, starring Lucille Ball,it is a Non-stop wackiness!

This is the second movie of the Annabel series starring Lucille Ball which is based on characters created by Charles Hoffman. I am sure you will enjoy the continuation of non-stop wackiness of the first movie, Affairs of Annabel. In this screwball comedy, Annabel's press agent played Jack Oakie help to revitalize her flagging career. He plumbs to the bottomless well of outrageous ideas that builds into an absolutely hilarious story. When she falls in love with a Viscount played Ralph Forbes, Oakie does not give up, but when the nobleman's wife and children shows up, Annabel's dream world collapses instantly and come back to earth only to be reunited with Oakie. Lucile Ball plays a scatterbrained actress colorfully with all the charms of her future character Lucy. Oakie is perfect for offbeat comedy like this and the humor is fresh and outrageously funny

Lew Landers directed this movie and the cast also included very funny lady Ruth Donnelly along with Bradley Page and Alice White. Unfortunately RKO cancelled this series in 1938, but retained Ball as a major asset of the studio for future projects.
