Absolutely charming--and gloriously dated--Cantor vehicle. In two-strip Tech...and Cantor recreating his Broadway sensation.

Audience Reviews for Whoopee!

One of Eddie Cantor's better movies, but it's still minor stuff. It's a lot of fun, and historically important due to the film being in color. The musical numbers are fair.
