Review of Bum Voyage

Bum Voyage (1934)
7/10
Another great one from Thelma and Patsy
20 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Thelma and Patsy are out in the snow on Friday the 13th when a woman throws an envelope with 2 tickets for a cruise to Bermuda out the window. Little do they know she is the keeper of a gorilla! Fans of man in a gorilla suit have to have this one. Thelma takes off her dress and gets down to a short slip and stockings. She looks beautiful as always. After they get a swank stateroom the captain makes them get the gorilla back in his cage. Patsy finds a gorilla suit in a trunk and because the captain wants Thelma to perform with the gorilla, Patsy ends up in the gorilla suit and does the famous mirror door bit with the guy in the gorilla suit (shades of the Marx Bros!). Thelma does some great physical comedy with the man in the gorilla suit and Patsy ends up with Thelma and the gorilla in a rowboat all hitching their way back to land. Fun slapstick by two great women.
