    Paul Hurst is exceptional

    its too bad some people can't enjoy something like this movie,Paul Hurst is perfect for this role,have seen this movie 6 times and laugh as much as the first time.this is a small gem from the 30's, you don't have to do much thinking just sit back and enjoy this movie, i don't expect godfather type movies from the 30's and neither should any one else
