{"product_id":"hi-diddle-diddle-2","title":"Hi Diddle Diddle","description":"In the tradition of Hellzapoppin', Hi Diddle Diddle is an all-stops-out \"screwball comedy\" populated by certifiable zanies. Billie Burke plays Mrs. Prescott, the featherbrained mother of bride-to-be Janie Prescott (Martha Scott). When Mrs. P is swindled out of her life savings, Colonel Phyffe (Adolphe Menjou), the con-man father of Janie's fiancé Sonny (Dennis O'Keefe), vows to get her money back -- by any means possible. The plotline is merely an excuse for a series of wild nonsequitur visual and verbal gags, culminating in a cute reverse-cliché finale. Making her first Hollywood appearance in years, silent screen star Pola Negri is hilariously cast as Phyffe's opera-star wife Genya Smetana. Best bits: Mrs. Prescott revealing that a recurring female character is a \"special friend of the director\"; Leslie Quayle (June Havoc singing a duet with herself); and an outrageous scene in which the wallpaper comes to life during a eardrum-shattering family sing-along (the animation was provided by the Warner Bros. cartoon staff).","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46486622241055,"sku":"089218453495","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/f401f62cce99ce3d2f082cab117439bf.jpg?v=1712291546","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/hi-diddle-diddle-2","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
