Very impressed by Nat Pendleton as the gangster falling to pieces as Zasu sings "Your Mother" with a copy of the painting known as "Whistler's Mother" beside her.Jacqueline T.

I'll be on the lookout for this one. <br /><br />I wouldn't have recognized the young Pert Kelton in a million years.Kevin Deanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697597405552599370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-82714061606598252732012-02-16T13:53:12.134-05:002012-02-16T13:53:12.134-05:00This sounds like a hoot.

I'd like to have a look (or second look) at more of his films.<br /><br />There's really a lot of funny lines in this one that come quick. The plot is simple, it's all the decoration that's funny.Jacqueline T.

The "types" in movies, in theatre, and in life are always ripe for ribbing. Life is pretty bleak if we can't laugh at ourselves.<br /><br />I've come to realize lately how many dandy flicks were directed by Seiter - "Sons of the Desert", "Diplomaniacs", "The Lady Wants Mink", "Roberta" and "Dimples" among them.Caftan Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05936895555808823221noreply@blogger.com
