early Joe E. Brown vehicle with creaky plot and snappy lines. There are a couple nice musical numbers thrown in. Brown poses as a big shot at a resort and wins the girl and saves the day. But this is one of Brown's better early comedies. He is funny and has a nice dance number with the funny Laura Lee(who is in the Joan Davis/Majorie White mold). Jack Whiting in a solid sidekick, and Bernice Claire is also solid as a leading lady. Throw in Frank McHugh and you have a decent little comedy.
