Comedy, War
A Wheeler & Woolsey comedy directed by Paul Sloane for RKO. Bert and Bob are two American soldiers in Paris during World War I who go AWOL to enjoy the city's nightlife. When military police catch up with them, they disguise themselves as officers and end up in increasingly absurd situations, including a run-in with a German spy. Dorothy Lee plays the nurse who falls for Bert, adding romance to the duo's rapid-fire comedy. The film was one of several Wheeler & Woolsey service comedies and helped establish their formula of wisecracks, physical gags, and musical numbers. The film is in the public domain.
