Public Nuisance No. 1

This is a rather surreal comedy.It starts off in a fairly straightforward manner.Arthur Riscoe is a playing who gets drunk,is thrown out of a nightclub and drives his car into a shop.His uncle demands he get a job in his hotel in Nice.Frances Day plays a showgirl in a Mary Pickford wig who wins a raffle prize of two weeks in the same hotel.There are lots of comic twists and turns around the hotel.Frances Day sings her hit song My little dog.Arthur Riscoe was a comedian and he doesn't really do terribly well with his songs.He has comic support from radio comedian Claude Dampier.So Riscoe is rather better with the comedy than with the songs.The film is directed by Marcel Carmel who directed many of the top comedians during the thirties and forties.
