David K Somebody has to review this thing. It's actually has moments of humor as it spoofs the two films "I Am A Fugitive From a Chain Gang" and "20,000 Years in Sing Sing". It eventually evolves into another 1930's short featuring musical numbers as was typical fare of Vitaphone shorts. But, hey, it's only 19 minutes and I've wasted more time than that this morning. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/14/25 Full Review Read all reviews
