I like the script - but I'm prejudiced because I wrote it.

I wrote the script for "Laughing It Up" (also known as "In Search Of A Woman"). I'm not 100% pleased with the how the film turned out, but I'm very pleased with much of it. I do wish the producer/director taken out the vaudeville sketches I'd originally written about a cat and replaced them with the new vaudeville sketches about "Romeo & Juliet." But the director didn't agree with me.

I like the movie-- but, then, I'm in it.

The script seems let down by the realization, despite the good attempt at period production values. Benny Benewitz is excellent, the girls not so terrific. Most of the supporting cast are better than you could expect from an ultra-low budget movie.

There are designed echoes of Groucho Marx in the story, though the character is nowhere near as caustic as the real Groucho. The film doesn't deserve the obscurity it received.
