“THEY'RE LAFFIN' IT UP!”

ComedyMusic

Homer Flagg is a railroad worker in the small New Mexico town of Desert Hole. One day, he finds an abandoned automobile at an old atomic proving ground. His doctor and best friend, Steve Harris, diagnoses him with radiation poisoning and gives Homer three weeks to live. A big city reporter hears of Homer's plight and convinces her editor to provide an all-expenses paid trip to New York.

VIBE

A technicolor dream of mistaken identities and manufactured joy. This musical comedy offers a whimsical escape, celebrating friendship and the absurdity of life with a charming, optimistic spirit. It’s pure, old Hollywood escapism.
