Earl J. Morris Pittsburgh Courier It Is well acted, well directed and photographed. You start laughing at the first scene and you laugh after you have left the theatre. You find yourself repeating the gags and humorous incidents. Rated: 4/4 Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Roscoe Williams Motion Picture Daily Hilarious. Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Boxoffice Staff Boxoffice Magazine Every tried and true gag situation since the days of Mack Sennett was incorporated into the script of this hilarious hodge-podge. Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Film Daily Staff The Film Daily The players have a field day in this comedy, which is loaded with slapstick and clever gags. Jan 27, 2021 Full Review Lawrence F.
