Double Or Nothing (1937)

An eccentric millionaire's will has four honest people (Bing Crosby, Martha Raye, Andy Devine, William Frawley) scrambling to double their received sum of $5,000 in order to gain the entire estate. But the millionaire's duplicitous surviving family (Mary Carlisle, Samuel S. Hinds, Fay Holden, William Henry) plot to sabotage their attempts in order to keep the money in the family. Directed by Theodore Reed (HER FIRST BEAU). I'm not Bing Crosby's biggest fan but this musical comedy is more of an ensemble film and the mediocre bunch of tunes (though one, The Moon Got In My Eyes was a popular hit) aside, the plot machinations are amusing enough to keep one interested. While the movie is padded out with specialty acts, the musical highlight is a jazzy scat number After You sung by Frances Faye, Martha Raye and Bing Crosby which allows the movie to come alive briefly. With Benny Baker, Elsie Ames and Nick Arno.
