I Dood It

I Dood It 1943 is a musicalcomedy film starring Red Skelton and Eleanor Powell, directed by Vincente Minnelli, and released by MetroGoldwynMayer. The screenplay is by Fred Saidy and Sig Herzig and the film features Richard Ainley, Patricia Dane, Lena Horne, and Hazel Scott. John Hodiak plays a villain in this production, just his third movie role. Jimmy Dorsey and his Orchestra provide musical interludes.

This was Powells final starring role in an MGM film. After this, she would make a cameo appearance in Thousands Cheer, play a lead role in the UA film Sensations of 1945, and return to MGM for a cameo in Duchess of Idaho 1950 before retiring from the screen for good.The rather ungrammatical title was from one of Red Skeltons radio catchphrases of the day. In 1942 Jack Owens, The Cruising Crooner, wrote a song for Skelton based on it I Dood It If I Do, I Get a Whippin, but that song does not appear in this film. ........
