Description:
He may be an underpaid bank clerk but his voice is worth a million bucks. Frank Sinatra is $42.50-a-week teller Johnny Dalton, who comes across big money – and big trouble – in this frothy comedy. It’s Only Money, Sinatra sings with his quipster pal Emil (Groucho Marx). Yet lack of it keeps him from marrying fellow bank employee Mibs (Jane Russell). Before you can say 'romantic comedy,' Johnny rescues a bookie from a beating and receives a betting tip in appreciation. The appreciation appreciates into thousands. But there’s a catch: the bank is short $75,000. And cash-flush Johnny is Suspect #1. Maybe Johnny’s lot will be just Kisses and Tears (a Sinatra/Russell duet and the second of the film’s two Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn tunes). The good news: Double Dynamite will also be love, laughs and stardust galore.

Rating: - A WINNER ALL THE WAY
Don't trust Leonard Maltin on that one and look at the movie with friendly eyes.
We have a very nice screenplay by MELVILLE SHAVELSON one of the many talented Bob Hope boys), later a film director, from a story by Leo Rosten
The RKO cinematography by Robert de Grasse is superior grade. The songs by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne are very good.
We had heard Groucho Marx sing: he can sing with Sinatra too, his acting is really good, very subtle. Sinatra shows how he became a great actor. ... Read More
Rating:  - Double Dynamite never quite takes off...
Double Dynamite is most definitely not one of Sinatra's better films, but it's a fairly cute (if predictable) romantic comedy nonetheless. Oddly enough Sinatra and leading lady Jane Russell have zero chemistry - but the film really lights up when Sinatra exchanges quips with the fast-talking Groucho Marx. Sadly, Russell just doesn't get to exhibit any of the spitfire personality that makes her performances in films like Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Son of Paleface shine. If the film had focused more ... Read More
Rating:  - Sinatra and Groucho Marx Sing!?!
Who knew? Great to see two stars singing together especially if one is not known for it. Groucho and Sinatra sing and if you are lucky you might find the clip on you tube but its unlikey your local library will carry this gem and its not on dvd!
Rating: - Single Dynamite
Best for Sinatra singing from his bed and for Groucho doing his thing. Otherwise, strictly B movie material. If you LOVE Sintra, it's always worth a look.
Rating: - Overlooked Early 50's Comedy
An under rated little gem with some very funny scenes: Jane in the shower; Groucho impersonating a millionaire; Frank looking for the bookie's hideout but finding only nice ladies (leading to the classic line "Youre not a man!"), and a nice punch line involving the IRS
