Featured review
Formulaic but fun romp with Eddie Cantor
First Post-Code film for Eddie Cantor (though just barely), so there are a few things that slip in here and there, particularly with Eva Sully as a giggling moron of a princess. The formula from previous efforts is replicated here, mostly successfully. Yes, they bring things to a halt in the middle to give a condensed minstrel/vaudeville show, complete with blackface, but at least we got the Nicholas Brothers doing a tap dance break. Oh, and Ethel Merman was in this too. And the random Technicolor sequence at the end, which gave preternatural vibes of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Overall, not my favorite of Eddie Cantor's, but it was solid enough.
