Bob Thomas Associated Press The budget of laughs is adequate, although not as great as might be expected from the madcap situation. Jun 19, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Tom M Terrible film that goes on and on and on. Underlying issues of incest and mental illness make it uncomfortable to watch. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/21 Full Review Audience Member Hilarious movie. Schuelor Tatlock, a completely brain-damaged IDIOT, is the pivotal character of an immense inheritance. Assumed dead, Schuelor is impersonated by a look-alike actor/stunt man. Fucking hysterical. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A weird comedy of manners in which a stuntman pretends to be the long-absent 'black sheep' son of a wealthy family in order to collect 'his' share of the inheritance. Chemistry develops between him and the sister of the guy he's pretending to be, which gives the film a weird quasi-incestuous element. That makes the film a bit uncomfortable to sit through (though definitely interesting to analyze), but there is nice snappy dialogue as well as entertaining portrayals of the selfish filthy rich people, including Monty Woolley and Robert Stack. Barry Fitzgerald is great, too, as the man guiding the protagonist. Co-written and produced by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder's frequent collaborator, and directed by actor Richard Haydn, who makes a cameo appearance under the pseudonym 'Richard Rancyd.' Ray Milland has a brief cameo, as himself, at the start of the film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
