This whole thing was a poor excuse to drag out a slew of old vaudevillians and try to make them relevant and entertaining for audiences that had moved on from stage revues, silent movies and talkies to television. It offers plenty of evidence for why such acts went the way of the dodo bird.
One can only cringe for the actors engaged to try to sell this weak story. Not even Leonid Kinsky or Richard Arlen can save this dreck and one has to wonder if they really needed the money or the screen time this desperately. You can feel the pain in their attempts to pretend to be entertained and amused by the goings-on. Ellen Drew smiles too much and much too forced. Richard Arlen does his best with the embarrassingly cheesy dialogue and fake romance and one can only feel sorry for him slogging his way through this.
