Released by Howard Hughes three years after its filming, "Double Dynamite" is a pleasing comedy starring Jane Russell as Mibs Goodhue, Groucho Marx as Emile J. Keck, and Frank Sinatra as Johnny Dalton.
The crux of the story is a coincidence--the disappearance of $60,000 from a bank and Dalton winning $60,000 at the track. He can't spend his winnings without alerting the suspicions of the authorities.
The film features a couple of very enjoyable tunes by Jule Stine and Sammy Cahn that leave the viewer wanting more.
Except for Russell's portrayal of her character being tipsy, she does a fine job. Groucho is his usual incorrigible self and Sinatra is charming. The three of them make the most of this small film.
