Believe It or Not #3 (1930)
*** (out of 4)
Robert Ripley's third film in the series once again shows various strange things that some might not even believe even though all the evidence is right there on the screen. This time out we get to see a waiter carry fourteen coffee cups and plates in one hand, a church in Nebraska that's made of hay, a baseball team made up of nine brothers, a small Tennessee town that is still living two-hundred years behind current times and many other strange stories. If you enjoy this series then this one here offers up plenty of funny stories and some things that are hard to believe are really happening. None of this stuff is too shocking today with all the news media we have as it seems we can find out anything about anyone. Most of the stuff presented here wouldn't get a brief mention on the news today but the film remains charming as a history lesson of how this stuff was presented back in 1931. The strangest scene in the movie takes place in Mississippi where two black ladies are introduced with one being 138-years-old and the mother of the other woman who is 108-years-old.
