Stop That Cab (1951)
4/10
Episodic And Trite
29 November 2022
It's a movie about the trials and tribulations of Sid Melton. He drives a taxi can in Hollywood, and is married to harpy Iris Adrian. Although it's mostly little bits about the insane people he runs into, there is a major subplot about Marjorie Lord, and how she's trying to win an eye operation for her little boy on QUEEN FOR A DAY.

It's a comedy, but the people aren't funny. Melton's mildly exasperated nebbish is called on to under-react. Miss Adrian is wasted. And most of the situations are trite. The whole thing looks more like a pilot for a television series than anything you'd care to see in a theater.... or on TV.
