Real screwball slapstick: Absolutely hilarious
Happy Landing was a lively musical upon which this movie is based on. The top of the cast include Charlotte Greenwood, Pat O’Brien and Bert Lahr. Lahr is a zany making his screen debut in his original Broadway role. He plays an amateur aviator who makes a world record flight because he didn’t know how to land. Greenwood meets him by offering $500 in search of a husband, and Lahr gladly accepts the offer of $500. There is a great deal chemistry between Lahr and Greenwood that includes hijinks and screwball comedy. It also stars Hedda Hopper, Charles Winninger, and Guy Kibbee. The numbers for the musical was staged by Busby Berkeley. This is an absolute screwball slapstick!
