Ann Ross Maclean's Magazine The result is mostly noise, slapstick, chase sequences, and many many close-ups of Joe E. Brown's wide-open face. Oct 11, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Typical Joe E. shenanigans with the bonus of a very young Jane Wyman working her way up. Lyda Roberti's last film, she died shortly after of a heart attack at only 31. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Funny at the start and end, but mostly unfunny. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
