The result is mostly noise, slapstick, chase sequences, and many many close-ups of Joe E. Brown's wide-open face. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

11/12/2014 Typical Joe E. shenanigans with the bonus of a very young Jane Wyman working her way up. Lyda Roberti's last film, she died shortly after of a heart attack at only 31. See more 09/05/2010 Funny at the start and end, but mostly unfunny. See more Read all reviews
