Excuse me, Mr. Roach, but you forgot to make this film funny!

I have seen quite a few of the Thelma Todd/Zasu Pitts and Thelma Todd/Patsy Kelly shorts and must say that by and large they are pretty awful. While the Hal Roach Studio made some wonderfully funny films (such as Laurel & Hardy and Charley Chase), they also made some obviously lesser series during this same heyday of the late 20s and early 1930s--such as The Boy Friends and the Thelma Todd comedies. There are several problems with the material--most of which is that the writers just seemed to be asleep and included very little funny material. Plus, unlike their A-teams, Todd & Pitts were NOT the whole show but many bit players were included to get the laughs--as if they didn't trust the ladies to be funny.

This film finds Guinn Williams as a wrestler who is sick of the city and wants to go back home to the farm. However, he is also infatuated with Zasu and so Williams' agent tries to get her help to keep him from giving up his career. There are a few very, very small laughs here and there, but no more.
