One joke movie, the jest being that altruist Sam never met a schnorer he didn't like, whose endless variations on it become stale after about 30 min and downright dull after an hour, which is when I bailed. Some of Ken Englund's dialogue produces a chuckle but the dearth of physical humor is hard to understand from the director of "The Awful Truth" who cut his comedy teeth on Hal Roach two reelers. Plus Coop is even stiffer than usual and Anne Sheridan is given virtually nothing risible as the long suffering wife other than a couple sarcastic rejoinders. Give it a C.
