A Real Gem

One of the funniest movies I've seen in ages- featuring:

Edward G. Robinson as a genial bootlegger going legit after prohibition with a brewery making horrible beer.

Ruth Donnelly as his wife, trying to be teddibly refined.

All the great character actors who played mugs in the 1930s playing it for laughs.

A wild party

4 corpses in the guest room closet

A stuffy prospective father-in-law

And, best of all, Bobby Jordan as the beer-swilling Douglas Fairbanks Rosenbloom, the worst orphan in New York.

Try it-- you'll like it!

score 10/10
