Trivia
Asa (Guy Kibbee) speaks of that he once almost married Aunt Marcia (May Robson). In real life, Robson was 24 years older than Kibbee, old enough to be his mother.

You've Got To Be Kidding Me

May Robson takes her nieces to the small Rhode Island town. The elder, Jane Bryan, carries on a sedate and disapproved romance with Fred Lawrence. The younger, Sybil Jason, combines with yarn-spinning Guy Kibbee to hunt for treasure under a pirate's compact. Meanwhile, a couple of crooks are in town to crack the local bank. They capture wind of the treasure hunt, and when Kibbee and Miss Jason find it, try to take it away at gunpoint. In the struggle, the man dies and the woman lies her face off.

Warner Brothers were trying to replicate the success of Shirley Temple, but their B division wasn't up to it, and neither was Miss Jason. She sings a song, but the lip-syncing is obvious, and her performance under Nick Grinde verges on the annoying. Miss Robson's usually delightful grouch seems simply ill-tempered.

Miss Jason kept on working through 1940, and is fine in later roles in support of Shirley Temple. I attribute the poor quality of this movie to the usually efficiently operating Warners B Unit.
