| Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson repeated their lead roles from the Broadway cast. A few others in the film had been replacements on Broadway; however, most of the roles in the film were filled by actors more well known to movie audiences like Martha Raye, Shemp Howard, and Elisha Cook Jr. I've never seen the movie, but TCM has shown it on occasion. |

| I think it would be hard to duplicate the zaniness of the stage version in Hellzapoppin' in a film version. n/m | |

| It's on YouTube sometimes so you can see it for yourself. It's pretty zany and does stuff like breaking the fourth wall and having a scene being played but interrupted and out of sync, among other things if I recall. Martha Raye is pretty terrific and the jitterbug dancers are insanely wonderful! | |
