YMMV / Swing Parade of 1946

• Anti-Climax Boss: The entire "conflict" of the film is Danny's father trying to serve him with papers, but at the end, after absolutely nothing has changed, Danny's father rips up the paper he's been served and is perfectly fine with the club.
• Ending Fatigue: The final show of the film goes on a very, very long time, especially "Stormy Weather."
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Ten years before Swing Parade, Moe, Larry and Curly, in the short Disorder In The Court were witnesses for the defense in a murder trial. The defendant? A woman named Gail Tempest. The singer and actress Gail Storm played Carol Lawrence in this movie.
• Values Dissonance: The sketch with Carol spending the night is downright cringeworthy by today's standards. What happens is she gets upset and tries to serve Danny the dispossession, but instead accidentally hands him her eviction notice. Danny feels bad and ushers her back inside, asking Moose to prepare his suite for her to spend the night since she's been kicked out of her place. Carol misinterprets this to mean Danny expects her to sleep with him to get the job, a theory not helped by Danny's longing stares. Moose gets her into the suite and Carol is panicking as he sets up dinner, begging for Moose to stay so she won't be assaulted by Danny. Then the Stooges show up in their night attire and Carol faints. She wakes up the next morning wearing Danny's clothes and is even more afraid until she finds out one of the female staff members is the one who changed her clothes overnight. It's Played for Laughs but to be honest, it's downright uncomfortable to watch.
