This one was a strange one indeed because it is the second or so-called sequel to" Gloves Swingers which had previously come out the year before. Shemp Howard once again reprises his role as Uncle Pat. Dorothy Vaughan reprises her role as grandma. But here's where it gets weird Betty Campbell who played the original Kitty in the first one is now playing a whole different character and a non-speaking role as one of the college students that comes to Terry and kitties party!? She is the one that actually grabs Terry's arm when all the students come in and hold on to him then we later see her dancing with Diggins who momentarily dumps her to dance with the new Kitty!?now how ironic is that?! also coming back and very small uncredited bit roles were Columbia contract players Richard Fisk who was the ring announcer in the original and now plays a waiter and this one. and Bert Young has a non-speaking uncredited role, he was also in the original.
What is also very amazing to me was that in the first Glove Swingers , Jules White directed it more like a drama and less slapstick ,in this so call sequel, there's not that much drama and there's way a lot of slapstick primarily gags that were already used to some extent for example like in The Three Stooges shorts. Like washing of the lettuce, cutting a loaf of bread to make it look like an accordion, a blender that goes wild and shoots off mixture in every direction hitting people in the face, and the most blatant gag was the pillow as a layer in the cake and we all know what happens with that everyone starts coughing up feathers!? So I was very disappointed with the sequel to some degree based on the very first one being so original and it just reverted now back to being the slapstick that Columbia was Renown for and recognized ,what a shame ,no wonder Shemp Howard after this one bowed out. I do got to say though that David Duran makes a good Terry but I really enjoyed Noah Beery Jr.'sTerry in the 1st one.
