It's a troubled little country. When he arrives, they have only had one revolution that week! You can tell this movie was crafted just for [b]Will Rodgers[/b] style. It gives him excellent opportunities to lampoon governments and the stupid things they do. It also, shows how well he interacts with youngsters, and his rope tricks was a highlight of the movie for me -- he was fantastic! It's reassuring and sad to know that the government in 1931 was just as screwed up as it is today. Catch this one if you can. I think most will be surprised at how well it still plays in 2008.
