James Cagney has a Field Day with this Crime-Comedy Appearing in Various Costumes (French Dandy, Indian Chief) as He Goes From Petty Crime to Movie Star in this Odd but Entertaining Pre-Code Movie that has some Racy Dialog Mixed in with a Whole Lot of Fun.
It's Not a Great Movie but Mae Clarke Adds Some Spice and the Whole Cast is In On the Joke as Things Go Wildly From Hither to Yon as Nothing but Pure Entertainment. It's a Hoot of a Hollywood Self-Parody and Cagney Fans will Love it.
Overall, Others May Find it Dated and be Slightly Offended by Some Political Incorrectness. Animal Abuse and Some Rough Treatment of the Weaker Sex. But the Snappy Dialog and the Sheer Absurdness to it All Make it a Must See for Film Buffs and those that Like Their Movies Breezy and Bawdy.
