Abbott & Costello star in an adaptation of Damon Runyan's Princess O'Hara, 1943's "It Ain't Hay", which, like most films with the comedy legends, was in heavy rotation on WPIX back in the day. Shemp Howard, Cecil Kellaway, and an uncredited Mike Mazurki are part of the supporting cast. Racing scenes were shot at Saratoga Race Course.
Princess O'Hara had previously been adapted a few years earlier with Chester Morris. You'd be hard pressed to find it on cable, while "Hay" has turned up in recent times.
Rating: B.
