My Lucky Star with Sonja Henie.  Like my other Sonja Henie movie, Happy Landing, this has Cesar Romero playing the playboy scoundrel.  It also reprises my favorite gag from the earlier movie - Billy Gilbert as a server pushing a special that his customers don't want.  This time he is running a sweet shop and pushing the tutti frutti sundae (with pistachios) when his customers just want chocolate.

Okay, the plot:  Cesar Romero is the son of a wealthy New York department store owner.  He has impulsively married a gold digger played by Gypsy Rose Lee (but credited as Louise Hovak).  His wife intends to take him to the cleaners in the divorce if she can get proof that he is fooling around.  He obliges by luring store employee Sonja Henie to his apartment, where she is seen but not identified.  To prevent positive identification Romero hatches a scheme to enroll her in remote Plymouth University where her job will be to provide product placement for the women's winter-wear department by changing clothes five times a day.  Fortuitously, ice skating is a popular pastime there.  Romance and hijinks ensue.  There is a pretty cool "Alice in Wonderland" ice ballet at the end of the movie.

Buddy Ebsen has a prominent part, opposite Joan Davis of "I Married Joan" fame.  Fish and chips man Arthur Treacher has a small role as factotum to Romero's dad.  Paul Hurst (the Yankee deserter shot by Scarlett) plays Gypsy Rose Lee's detective friend.

Happy Landing with Sonja Henie, Don Ameche, Cesar Romero, and Ethel Merman.  Cesar Romero is a love-'em-and-leave-'em band leader, Don Ameche is his manager who keeps him out of trouble, Ethel Merman is a gold digger who tries to entrap Romero, Sonja Henie (the Esther Williams of ice skating) is an innocent Norwegian who falls in love with Romero.  Coincidentally, Romero's character is named "Duke", same as his character in Five of a Kind.

This movie is great entertaining fluff.  It is a musical, with songs performed by Cesar Romero and Ethel Merman interspersed between lavish ice skating production numbers.  It is worth seeing just for one scene where Billy Gilbert* as a diner counterman tries to push the pot roast special when Don Ameche wants to order a hamburger.  It is a laugh-out-loud "who's on first" sort of routine.

*whom IMDB says was the voice of Sneezy in Snow White and the dim-witted process server Pettibone in His Girl Friday

"We got extra special pot roast for today, with noodles!"

Five of a Kind with the Dionne Quintuplets. The Dionne Quints play the fictional Wyatt Quints of Canada. This movie is not nearly as interesting as the story of the Dionne Quints themselves, the first recorded quintuplets to survive infancy, who were removed from their home by the Ontario government and used as a tourist attraction for the first nine years of their lives. They were only four years old in this movie and spoke French. The male lead was Cesar Romero.
