ashley h @ashleyhobgood87 05/03/2015 Laugh and Get Rich is a funny film. It is about Austin family who faces the depression head on with Sarah running a boarding house and Joe trying to hit it big with crazy inventions. Edna May Oliver and Hugh Herbert give fantastic performances. The screenplay is well written. Gregory La Cava did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the humor. Laugh and Get Rich is a must see.
