Customer Reviews

Comedy from poverty row
This is a Monogram Studio film from 1942, a strictly second feature lasting 62 minutes. It's mildly amusing; on the level of a Bowery Boys film from the same studio. Zasu Pitts, all of 44 years old, is the "old lady," Aunt Emma, and she plays the part well. This is a 2 1/2 on a scale of one to four: competent and watchable, but wholly forgettable. Douglas Fowley is in the film, one of his hundreds of "B" level movies.
