    Storyline

    Edit
    Edmund Gilbert and daughter Lilian have lived high on the hog through his wild investment schemes. Now they are in debt to the hilt, and hope to lure one of three big financiers to dinner in one last effort for cash. Their plan seems doomed when the electric company shows up to turn off the lights. But, there's a flicker of hope when the chief company man leaves a green trainee behind to do the job so he can go to the next place. Paul Martin brings more than hope when he finds $100,000 in cash in his valise. The police were pursuing a bank robber who must have put it in Martin's valise on the trolley. Now, much madness with money ensues. —SimonJack

    It's not Easy Being Green
    Very odd film on several levels. Firstly Wiki says this is an American comedy. It's not. It's English.

    Next, for some reason the titles are actually superimposed OVER an Alpha Video logo ( not the opposite!)

    And next, the entire print is in a light green wash. What's that all about? At first I thought it was faded color but it's an early '30's film so it was originally in B&W.

    Obviously Alpha Video decided to give it this creepy Absinthe feel.

    It's a very slow moving film that is short on comedy and long on boredom
