The witty Robert Benchley is featured in this brief, eleven minute, MGM film. It's a sly lesson on what really goes on in Washington so to speak. I can't tell you what it is, but let's just say things probably haven't changed too much in the sixty years since this was made. Benchley's talent was enormous and varied; it's too bad he was never featured much in films. He always played some comic relief or observer type role, and he was famous for his voice and his commentary. He has a very dry sense of humor. The scene on the sleeper car is especially funny. The film is slyly funny, and it's still topical today. **1/2 of 4 stars.
