The Jitterbug as big a menace as the Red one
13 July 2016
A few years before her contract with Paramount and breakthrough to A film stardom, Betty Hutton could be seen in musical shorts like Public Jitterbug Number 1. Her personality comes through even with strange and banal material like this.

With the same zeal the FBI went after the Red Menace J. Edgar Hoover and his forces have determined the Jitterbug must be eradicated so our American way of life be preserved. Toward that end they've assigned special agent Hal LeRoy whose talents include dancing to locate and apprehend the woman known as Public Jitterbug Number 1.

Who of course is Betty Hutton. Aside from some musical numbers, yes this is as dopey as it sounds.
