W. C. Fields is swell but if he doesn't get some new stunts pretty soon they'll be saying he was over-rated.

There is romance, involving Rochelle Hudson, but it is W. C. Fields who makes the picture worth seeing.

RTThe SpectatorJun 3, 2018

The story doesn't really matter, for Mr. Fields has never acted better.
