I don't know if George Reeves was playing Superman at the time this was made, but it's ironic that this Jack Carson comedy with a screenplay by Frank Tashlyn (I'm surprised he didn't direct it, with its wild slapstick climax) is full of references to the original Captain Marvel. It's like somebody wanted to rub DC's nose it, Reeves as the bad guy who gets taken down by the Captain Marvel Fan Club! If you like these old comedies, I highly recommend it, but be warned; there is one blackface gag.
