    Storyline

    • Trivia
      1938 Phantom Corsair: This very unusual six-passenger coupe was designed by Rust Heinz, a member of the H. J. Heinz (57 Varieties) family. The design was a joint effort of Heinz and Maurice Schwarts of the custom body firm Bohman & Schwartz in Pasadena, California. Heinz' creation, costing approximately $24,000 in 1938. Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair into limited production at an estimated selling price of $12,500. His death, however, shortly after the car was completed, ended those plans.
    • Goofs
      Duncan Macrae's (Richard Carlson) "Scottish" accent is highly dubious and inconsistent throughout the film.
    • Quotes

      Marmy Carleton: The Sahib doesn't believe in unemployment.

      Mrs. Jennings: He doesn't?

      Marmy Carleton: He thinks it should all be done away with.

      Mrs. Jennings: How interesting!

      Marmy Carleton: He says the only way to do away with unemployment is to do away with employment. If nobody worked, there couldn't be any unemployment, and so the Sahib hasn't done a speck of work for a year. Passive resistance, you know. Ghandi.

    Great premise and marvellous cast.
    Besides being a marvellous picture, which I saw when it reached New York, it had the Flying Wombat, a car which actually existed under the actual name; Phantom Corsair. My question is in two parts, The first; is there a copy of the film extant that I can buy or rent (like on tape). Secondly, does any car lover out there know what happened to the car? A year or two after the picture, I saw the car in an auto showroom on Broadway. The dealer had bought it for his son.
