Radio City Revels is a 1938 American musical comedy film directed by Benjamin Stoloff and starring Bob Burns, Jack Oakie and Ann Miller.[3]

The film's sets were designed by the art director Van Nest Polglase. Although set in New York City, specifically at Radio City, much of the film was shot in RKO's California studios. The company had originally planned to make the film in 1934 starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. In 1937 the project was revived with a new cast.
