    One of the funniest movies of precode Hollywood! Enjoyed every minute of it and watched several times. Great acting, fantastic dialogues. Thank you for posting that movie. Too bad Rex Lease didn't make comedy movies I guess, besides that one. Mostly unappealing Westerns. But boy, oh boy, he was so boyishly handsome!

      Mary Kim . Are you serious? I don't believe you. This great movie is a bad one? I guess you haven't seeing many black and white and especially pre code Hollywood - plenty of them just lousy! This movie is funny because of great acting , script and casting. Combination of all these makes a fantastic movie.

    Extrêmement amusant ! A lot of funny lines ! (best excuse Award : "I never has been anywhere before").That could be an on stage comedy . I read that the writer, Scott Darling, "was blamed for scripting some of the worst Laurel and Hardy features (IMDb source ) ", but here, he makes the thing very enjoyable !

      +MetroBase, so what's your problem couch potato? I unfortunately am 77 and way to old to chase after the young chicks and can't stand the busy body old bags that constantly talk behind everybody's back. I like the girls in the older films. Most depict the clean well mannered girls of that day. Put them up against any foul mouth sexpot actress of today and the 20s & 30s gals get my vote every time. You have your choice and we have ours. Just remember sour apples grow in every orchard.
