Overview:
Bob Clemens is a cameraman for newsreels. Assigned to shoot the Swiss ice skater Karen Vadja, he arrives too late, so decides to film a woman skating on a different New York rink and pass her off as Karen. The scheme backfires when promoter Larry Herman takes a look at Bob's film and decides to make the skater a star. Unfortunately, it's actually amateur (and illegal immigrant) Marie Bergin in the newsreel footage, not the great figure skater from Switzerland. Chaos ensues as Bob tries to straighten everybody out.| Status: | Released (1941-08-19) |

“Is that a moustache or are you wearing a squirrel?” … and that’s one of the better quips from this rather mixed up musical comedy. It centres around the cynical “Bob” (James Ellison) who was supposed to film some ice skaters, but missed the plane! Reckoning that one of those critter ....
