Farewell to Dorothy Dell, who had already died in a car crash when Shoot the Works (1934) was released. She was 19 years old and only 3 features into her Hollywood career which was on the rise. Here serving as Jack Oakie love interest and guardian angel, except Oakie keeps messing things up. A nice musical-drama-comedy of the not-so-spectacular kind. Perfectly likable.
