ashley h A Very Honorable Guy is an interesting film. It is about Feet Samuels who finds himself heavily in debt due to an uncharacteristic gambling binge. Joe E. Brown and Alice White give amazing performances. The screenplay is good but a little slow in places. Lloyd Bacon did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture of the humor and romance. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member another vehicle 4 the crappy joe e brown Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
