AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

mark.waltz Things were getting a bit serious in the life of that good-hearted dame known as Maisie, everybody's favorite broad. Having dealt with dust bowl survivors, troubled rich folks and reluctant prize fighters, she's tired of tears and desperate for a few laughs, and boy does she get it here, with Hollywood's favorite redhead. No, it's not fellow MGM glamour girl Lucille Ball, but the other one whose first name ironically was Red.Mr. Skeleton, who like Lucy, dominated TV for decades, is a down on his luck comic, and she's escaping from a woman hating knife thrower. Together, they set out to create their own act, and the road to fame ain't easy. Surrounding the duo are a bunch of other funny people, including comical tough guy Leo Gorcey, always cheery Lloyd Corrigan and cynical Allen Jenkins. Donald Meek rises up to the heights of the taller actors he appears opposite as a tough landlord, while Fritz Feld doesn't do his famous lip pop as he uses Maisie as his target for revenge against all women. The teaming of Sothern and Skelton, paired together the same year in the entertaining if disappointing movie version of Cole Porter's "Panama Hattie", are a team worthy of their own series. He annoys her at first, but sometimes that fly in your ear is really good to get your circulation moving. After a four film "Maisie" marathon, it was nice to end on a lighter note. Some of the gags are dated and corny, but corn and dates sometime mix very well together.

bkoganbing Two television icons of the Fifties team up in Maisie Gets Her Man. But as we know she never keeps any man lest she not be available to be down on her luck for the next film.After nearly getting killed as the victim in Fritz Feld's knife throwing act our Brooklyn show girl Ann Sothern is once again on her uppers and looking for some kind of work. She rooms at a building that Allen Jenkins manages and he offers to put her to work assisting him. But then a rather obnoxious man who wants to break into show business played by Red Skelton kind of grows on Sothern and she helps him. Skelton falls for her even though back in Indiana he's got a sweetheart.The plot moves through a few situations, but it's Skelton and Sothern you remember. A great scene is when the brash Skelton discovers he has stage fright and Sothern sees how vulnerable he is. After that Skelton and she go to work for conman Lloyd Corrigan who is selling shares in a mineral water company. You know he'll come to justice before the film ends.Another great scene allows Skelton to do his drunk act substituting gin for the mineral water and softening skinflint Donald Meek. Red and Ann make quite a pair of tipplers.Fans of Susie McNamara and Freddie the Freeloader will like Maisie Gets Her Man.

blanche-2 Ann Sothern again plays Maisie in "Maisie Gets Her Man," a 1942 film featuring Red Skelton, Leo Gorcey, Allen Jenkins, Donald Meek and Lloyd Corrigan. Maisie's hired by a comedian, Hap Hixby (Skelton) who gets horrible stage fright, so her job is gone before she even gets to do it. However, the building owner (Jenkins) is impressed with Hap and gives him a job managing the building, and Maisie becomes his assistant. Hap and Maisie fall in love, but when Hap's fiancée shows up, Hap can't tell her the truth. Maisie leaves and gets a job in a show. But when she finds out Hap is in trouble, she decides she has to do something.This is a lively movie, in part because of Jenkins and Gorcey, who are very funny. I can't say I've ever been a Red Skelton fan, but MGM stuck him in every B movie as they attempted to build him up. Here he's nice-looking and plays it straight except when he's on stage. Sothern of course is a delight as the fast-thinking Maisie. Like most serials, the quality varies from film to film. This was one of the better ones, with a little more plot and a strong supporting cast.

Peter Brockert Red plays the clown on vaudeville trying to get an act together when he meets up with Maisie who just lost her booking. They team up and flop miserably.They then run across a man who offers to set them up in his business only to get them into the business far enough to get them indicted while he takes off. Maisie and Red fall for each other, but Red already has a fiancé back home. He can't get the nerve up to tell his old flame it's over with so Maisie hits the road also, right before the cops show up. She accidentally runs into the nice man who helped them out and gets suspicious.
