Adapted from a musical that ran on Broadway from 1938 to 1941, this Universal production was the brain child of comedians, Ole Olson and Chic Johnson.
Few of the stage cast appear in the movie but importantly, like the stage play, the film is full of surreal humour and retains the fun of addressing the audience directly, which is sometimes called “breaking the fourth wall”. This is what had made the stage version such a hit.
Olsen and Johnson had been well-known American vaudevillians since 1918 and they had appeared in several Warner Brothers musicals in the 1930s – though these had not been very successful.
They had retained a taste for the kind of zany comedy that the stage had offered them and in 1938 decided they shou;ld return to Braodway producing musical and comic reviews. In fact they introduced audiences to new acts like Abbott and Costello on the stage, before scoring a triumph with the hit show Hellzapoppin.
This time it was not Warners but Universal Studios that bought the film rights. Universal contracted several screenwriters (including Nat Perrin of Marx Bros fame) to devise an adaptation of Hellzapoppin.
