"Quick Money" is an odd little film, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 59-minute comedy that feels more like an extended short than an actual feature. It's about a small town that becomes the target of unscrupulous investors who want to transform it into a resort community. The townspeople are easily duped but the mayor balks, and his refusal to turn over the town's school fund makes him the target for their wrath.
The jokes are extremely broad, even for this era, and the movie is not directed with any grace or skill at all, but the film is innocent fun and took me away for an hour, which is really all I was looking for.
GRADE: C+
