Louisiana Purchase

New Orleans lawyer Jim Taylor (Bob Hope) was thrilled when the local kingmakers backed him for an assemblyman's seat. He was far less so once he learned he was made the flunky for their siphoning of federal dollars and being fed to a zealous U.S. senator (Victor Moore)! Fun adaptation of the Irving Berlin-Morrie Ryskind stage satire co-stars Vera Zorina, Irene Bordoni, Raymond Walburn; score includes "It's a Lovely Day Tomorrow." 99 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital mono.
