...This mild pleasantry is as excellently suited to Bing Crosby's mild acting talents as its soft Hawaiian tunes (Momi Pele, Okolehau, Nani Ona Pua) are suited to his deep warbling. Comedy is ladled out by Martha Raye, who distorts her vast mouth and yowls, and by Bob Burns, who to get laughs uses a pig named Wafford instead of his former "Bazooka."
