Best of Eddie Cantor's Films
I saw "Roman Scandals" as a small child. I loved it.I saw it again as an adult, and it held up beautifully.
This is the film I'd recommend to give one a sense of what made Eddie Cantor a great entertainer.
My earliest memories of a radio show was his show -- every Sunday. He had Deanna Durbin and Dinah Shore as guests (at different periods) every week long before their heydays.
Also, "Roman Scandals" shows Eddie Cantor looking youthful. His stage/screen persona depended on a sense of innocent youth. That's why his later screen efforts didn't work as well.
But "Roman Scandals" is a delightful early sound musical comedy.
