For a third time George Burns, Gracie Allen, and Bing Crosby appear together. "The Big Broadcast" (1932) was the best movie the three were in together while "College Humor" (1933) and "We're Not Dressing" are not even worth mentioning.
"We're Not Dressing" began at sea on a yacht which capsized due to a drunken idiot named Hubert (Leon Errol). Before the boat capsized, Doris Worthington (Carole Lombard) and Stephen Jones (Bing Crosby) were beginning the adversarial part of their romance. Doris was a rich girl on the yacht for pleasure whereas Stephen was a sailor on the yacht to work. The two had eyes for each other, but Doris dare not reveal that she had yearnings for a working class man.
When the boat went down six of the passengers and crew wound up on a deserted island. Among the six were Stephen and Doris which allowed them to continue their contentious courtship.
Also on the island for no other reason than comic relief were George and Gracie. I suppose they were a comedy tandem in the 30's much like Amos 'n Andy except far less offensive.
Stephen and Doris's relationship developed to a familiarity such that Stephen forcibly bound Doris to a wood and thatch island home. It was angry, aggressive, and abusive, but it was to put a spoiled rich girl in her place, so it was alright.
Right?
Of course, as always happens with the adversarial and abusive romances, this only made them love each other more.
"We're Not Dressing" was a weak romance coupled with some singing and the unique comedy of Burns and Allen. Watch if you're a Carole Lombard fan or a Burns and Allen fan, but don't watch if you are a Bing Crosby fan. It wasn't his finest hour and even his singing was more stiff and unoriginal.
