What happens

You Were Never Uglier is a 1944 American comedy short subject motion picture directed and produced by Jules White and written by Felix Adler, starring Andy Clyde, Emmett Lynn, and Esther Howard. It was released to theaters by Columbia Pictures on June 2, 1944. The film is a remake of Columbia's 1935 comedy Gobs of Trouble, starring Monty Collins and Tom Kennedy. The title is a parody of Columbia's recent feature film You Were Never Lovelier. You Were Never Uglier was remade in 1952 as Hooked and Rooked, with Margie Liszt and Maxine Gates playing the roles of the fiancées. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
