Featured review
pre-Code comedy
Times are tough. Sarah Austin (Edna May Oliver) makes ends meet running her home as a boarding house. Her husband Joe (Hugh Herbert) is trying every get-rich scheme in the book. Their daughter Alice (Dorothy Lee) has a crush on poor inventor Larry Owens (Russell Gleason), but her mother keeps pushing her to be with Bill Hepburn (John Harron) from a good family.
This is a pre-Code comedy. Edna May Oliver is the real lead behind the throne. It becomes rather chaotic and more serious than I expected. I was looking for a non-consequential comedy. Ultimately, this is too uneven and not funny enough.
