Starring Andrews Sisters, Mitchell Ayres, Peter Cookson, Tom Dugan
Directed by Edward F. Cline
Print: black/white
Runtime: 61 min.
Genre: musical
Print Quality: B
If one were forced to choose, Swingtime Johnny may well be the best of the Andrews
Sisters' 1940 "B"-musicals. Patty, Maxine and Laverne Andrews play three popular singers
(what a stretch!) who do their bit for Uncle Sam by landing jobs in a defense factory. When
they're not hammering and rivetting, the girls provide dinner-break entertainment for their
fellow workers. The film's wisp of a romantic subplot is carried by Harriet Hilliard (aka
Harriet Nelson) as a nightclub chanteuse who falls in love with the handsome factory owner
(Peter Cookson). Meanwhile, a jealous employee does his best to sabotage the romance.
Fans of "Our Gang" will recognize chubby Joe Cobb in a bit as a garage mechanic.
