Poor Eddie Wilson Jr. (Eddie Cantor) is a slob who can't catch a break -- that is, until he inherits nearly $80 million from his father. Unbeknown to Eddie Jr., however, the fortune comes from his dad's looting of Egyptian archeological treasures. Required to claim the money by traveling to Egypt, Eddie is beset by con artists on the long ship ride there. As if that weren't stressful enough, when he finally arrives he learns the local sheik has sentenced to death anyone claiming the treasure.

Another one of those excessively carpentered vehicles in which a vast structure is built to hold up a slipping star.

Kid Millions is better than Roman Scandals and almost as good as The Kid From Spain - which this reviewer saw twice, then went to see again.

Eddie Cantor manages to be pretty funny, though practically smothered in moth-eaten jokes. The real hit of the picture, however, is Ethel Merman.

Corny corny jokes but catchy film improves with viewings - not sure why, but music good and Nicholas Brothers so talented - young here.

A delightful, pre-code, 1930s musical comedy. Big musical production numbers and catchy 1930s tunes.

I've been a serious Eddie Cantor fan for as long as I can remember. Sorry to see that Flixter does not have his complete filmography listed.
