Before I review the film let me say this. GManfred from Ramsey, NJ, posting in 2010, comments in his review of the film thus: "As I roam about the website I will make note of similar films with preposterous grades which are not substantiated by user reviews or common sense. I look for ratings on Public Domain films. If they were rated so highly, they would not be in Public Domain." Fair enough, I take his point about inflated ratings. But if he is going on his crusade using Public Domain as his yardstick then he knows little about copyright. His Girl Friday (1940), My Man Godfrey (1936), Rain (1932), Algiers (1938) and many more classic movies are in the public domain not because they are bad films but through particular circumstances (neglect to renew copyright, etc). You can't judge movies this way, it's ridiculous.
Anyway, to my review. I enjoyed this movie not because of the plot or writing but because it's always enjoyable to see people like Will Rogers, Louise Dresser, Joel McRae and others.
If you don't know who these people are then you probably won't enjoy the film. It's mildly amusing in places but not enough so to hold your attention if you're not already a fan of old movies.
I'd rate it a 6 for the actors although I guess it really only deserves a 4 or 5.
