Customer Reviews of Up in Arms
Remake of " Whoopee" This film was Danny Kaye's first as a star for Goldwyn. Kaye plays Danny Weems, a hopeless hypochondriac who finds himself drafted into the army. While a passenger on an overseas transport ship, Danny is obliged to hide his girl friend Mary Morgan, who has accidentally stowed away on board, from the authorities. The plot (what there is of it) contrives to have Danny and Mary, together with Virginia playe dby the very talented Dinah Shore, who's in love with Danny, and Joe, who's in love with Mary, arrive simultaneously on the same South Sea island. After numerous comic and romantic complications, Danny emerges as the hero of the hour by capturing a whole bunch of Japanese soldiers. The film shows signs of post-production tampering-an offscreen narration, and abrupt ending-indicating. Despite its erratic editing and uneven scenario, Up in Arms contains some priceless moments, including Kaye's rapid-patter songs "The Lobby Number" and "Melody in 4F", both written by Sylvia Fine (Danny Kaye's wife) and Max Liebman. There are also a few cute "inside" jokes referring to the illogical nature of the plotline
Up In Arms
If you love or loved Danny Kaye's zany face and body language, you will love the scene in which one of Danny's so-called buddies catches him using his record player ...I literally fell of the couch laughing and breathing heavy!
DANNY KAYE'S TECHNICOLOR FILM DEBUT
Redheaded David Daniel Kaminsky became a well-known player along the "Borscht circuit" playing in the Catskills of upstate New York in the late thirties. Kaye later played in the successful Broadway show "Let's Face It" which co-starred Eve Arden and Vivian Vance in 1941. Goldwyn's faith in the 31 year-old Kaye was justified; the newly peroxided Kaye made his debut in this remake of Eddie Cantor's "Whoopee", and became a household name.Danny plays a confirmed hypocondriac who's so frightened of maladies that he's secured a job as the elevator operator in a medical building! The scene in the cinema lobby is brilliant and he's got the lovey Doris Dowling and the rather unphotogenic Dinah Shore around him while he wreaks havoc in this screwball comedy which made him an instant star.
