The Singers have pleasant voices and give a nice appearance.
The dance number novelty is not original, and the song, itself, is mediocre.

Subject: Now we'll HAVE to get married
The half-half costumes in this one are just great, especially the front/back one at the end. Truly bizarre and pleasantly creepy - a bit of a Cabaret feel to it somehow. I was intrigued with how 'Casanova' keeps pressing the girl's hand into his crotch as they sit canoodling on the bench, as she sings about how he'll have to marry her if he wants a kiss.

This soundie starts off slowly, with an ok lady singer and a pretty bad male singer duetting on a song (I'm guessing it's called 'Casonova'?) on an obvious fake stage.. Anyways, they walk to an ACTUAL stage, and then some pretty girls in dresses show up to dance.. Pretty ordinary yes, but wait, when they turn, they're wearing male tux drag as well! Ahhh1 The split clothing effect! It's done very well here, soon the boring couple are back singing, but the girls come back for a GREAT finale!!! A MUST See on this site! This instantly became one of my favorite soundies here..

Subject: and the Janus Dancers!
The title of this early 1940s soundie might be "Cassanova", but without a title card, it's hard to tell. The male and female duet singing the song are alright, but the truely bizarre part is the dancers that come in during the bridge, costumed with a white dancing dress on the left and a male suit on the right. Very odd.
