Charlie Ruggles turns in a fine, fine performance. This is a classic film performance of an acknowledged theater classic as well. Ruggles is worthwhile every time of a performance in all his comedy films.

This is one of the early talkie versions. Many versions have been made in the following decades. A wonderful version also exists and is available as a theater revival on Broadway and can be found on Youtube. But Charlie Ruggles sets a wonderful early standard.

It is unfortunate that a good copy of this film, rather than a washed out poor negative, cannot be found. If anyone knows where one is available, please post the information.

I remember this, seeing as a child. Anyone know of an available copy of the video? Others in this TV series (Armstrong Circle Theatre) are available in some places, though rare. Very find production at a time when TV broadcasters were on board with bringing quality to the home screen. The cast was superb.

This mini-series where I first became familiar with the name of Ian Holm and marvelled at the talent he brought to all his roles. A great talent lost. Brilliant in this work and all others. Thank you Sir Ian.
