★★★★★ · Not too shabby!!! · Vic Demise · 2012-03-27
I was pretty pleasantly surprised with the script, which is actually quite smart and amusing (for the time)and the acting is certainly above average. This is one of those lucky finds that keeps me coming back to the archive. My only real complaints are the sound- which is at least serviceable, and the length- it's only 57 minutes long!! It would have been a shame if this had been lost to the ages- so my thanks to whoever digitized it and saved it for future generations. I'd like to see this film re-made,and maybe fleshed out a little bit to make it longer

Didn't think I would like it at the beginning, but the pace picked up.
