    Vintage, lighter than air musical comedy

    In the 1930s Eddie Cantor made a series of pleasant, sometimes sexy, consistently entertaining, fast paced comedies. This is, in my opinion, one of the better ones. The songs are wonderful, the gags are funny, the 1930's atmosphere is thick, and Eddie himself is so energetic throughout he seems to float.

    It's a wonderful picture. Very recommended for 1930's film buffs and musical comedy enthusiasts.
