The Yanks Are Coming (1942) WWII COMEDY



PRC: More than just Edgar G. Ulmer-directed Film Noir and low-budget Westerns.

 They made musicals too.

 From 1942, we present "The Yanks Are Coming."

 The film is headlined by bandleader Henry King (along with his orchestra), Mary Healy, Little Jackie Heller, (Slapsy) Maxie Rosenblum, William Roberts, and Harry (Parkyarkarkus) Einstein.

 Tom Stern, Lew Pollack, and Edward E. Kaye wrote the original story, which was adapted for the screen by Arthur St. Claire and Sherman Lowe; additional dialog was written by Edith Watkins.

 With Leon Fromkess in charge of production, this film was produced by Lester Cutler and directed by Alexis Thurn-Taxis.
