Meyer Levin (Patterson Murphy) Esquire Magazine 04/23/2020
Another one of those excessively carpentered vehicles in which a vast structure is built to hold up a slipping star. Go to Full Review Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine 10/02/2019
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. Go to Full Review Helen Brown Norden Vanity Fair 06/07/2019
Eddie Cantor manages to be pretty funny, though practically smothered in moth-eaten jokes. The real hit of the picture, however, is Ethel Merman. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
