SWING IT, SAILOR(1938)

Quite boring to me!! A buddy movie, kinda! One
sailor trying to "watch out for" another tries
to keep him from "making a mistake" and getting
married! And then he takes over for him!! C+

From a reviewer at IMDb.com:

Sailor Ray Mayer wants to get married to Isabel
Jewel, but his buddy, Wallace Ford, likes to have
him around to do all the work. While Mayer is in
the brig for something Ford did, Ford visits
Jewel to tell her off, and winds up falling
for the dame himself.

There are a few comedy gags competently performed
in this one, but while Miss Jewel and her room
mate, Mary Treen, have good comic timing,
between Ford's lugubrious delivery and Mayer's
dull character, and there's little in the
way of sympathetic characters. In fact, the
best jokes are from a "Chinese parrot" that
Mayer gives to Jewel as a gift.

It's a purely by-the-numbers effort from
director Raymond Cannon, who often wrote
as well as directed his B movies. His career
ended in 1945, although he lived another
quarter century. - boblipton
