★★★★ · Very thin plot~ · ChronicKristinitis · 2025-09-01
Whisper thin plot, interspersed with "comic misunderstandings". Audio not so great in the beginning, but it evens out toward movie play. For extreme fans of Jack Benny and Fred Allen, like myself, I couldn't even sit through it all complete. Boat and gun stunts totally unnecessary, dangerous bits that should have, could have, been replaced with safer and as effective if not more effective comedy stunts. Gratuitous waste of good boat, even if it is a smaller one.
