Dunn & Edwards are silly/grande as two petty pickpockets who stumble into the Broadway theatre in a lively blend of old gag routines & 1930’s musical standards. Hightlights include Lillian Roth performing her specialty number, “Sadie Was a Lady” and Ukelele Ike’s rendition of vaudeville theme, “It’s Only a Paper Moon.” The film is filled with a raft of pre-code inside jokes trying to get through the censors makes it fun. As a small side-note, the New Deal Rythmn number at the tail end was obviously originallyin the film but cut for timing reason. When you look closely, you can spot a youthful Marjorie Main as the one female politician in the hall of men. Thanks Jon for a delightful film.
