Frank Sinatra may be an underpaid bank clerk in this 1951 madcap comedy, but his voice is still worth a million bucks. As $42.50-a-week teller Johnny Dalton, though, he's just not flush enough to do the one thing he really wants - tie the knot with his gal pal, fellow bank employee Mibs (Jane Russell). Sinatra musically bemoans his underfunded state of affairs in a duet with pal Emil (Groucho Marx) on the memorable number "It's Only Money," one of two Jule Styne/Sammy Cahn tunes in DOUBLE DYNAMITE. The other pairs him with Russell on "Kisses And Tears."

Soon enough, Johnny stumbles into big money - and big trouble - when he rescues racetrack bookie "Hot Horse" Harris from a shellacking and receives a betting tip in appreciation. One lucky race later, he's rolling in dough. But there's a catch: the bank is short $75,000, and things get explosive when newly prosperous Johnny is the most likely suspect.

Warner Home Video's DVD release of DOUBLE DYNAMITE features subtitles in English and French.
