I don't recall ever having seen Jumping Jacks. If I did it would probably be my pick considering my low opinion of the Martin & Lewis films I have seen. Most of the other films are fairly decent with Quo Vadis considerably more than that. I also think Million Dollar Mermaid is the best film Esther Williams ever made. The two really bad entries are The Snows of Kilimanjaro which is a snooze fest and Bloodshound of Broadway which is a low wattage musical.

Bloodhounds of Broadway gets my vote.
