An Unfunny Comedy

Stu Erwin's dude ranch is going broke. Now Charles Sellon -- who reminds me here of Ned Sparks, but without the warmth -- is about to leave with his daughter, June Collyer. Starving thespians Jak Oakie, Eugene Pallette, Mitzi Green, and Cecil Weston agree to spice things up for digs and doughnuts.

Unfortunately, it soon becomes clear why they're starving: they're awful actors. Of course the idea is to play that for laughs, but even the usually dependable Frank Tuttle can't draw a laugh out of this bunch. There's a sock-o finish with Oakie trying to prove he's brave, but overall, this movie is an example of why some movies are forgotten, and proof that being old doesn't make something a classic.
