PUNQ

Rated 01 Dec 2013

Past his prime Lee Tracy is still the best thing about this RKO vehicle. But that might be more to do with him being offered lesser scripts after falling out of favor with his bad behavior. This certainly wasn't a well written film suited for Tracy's gag-a-second mouth. And the direction was slow and at times dead. Thankfully Tracy is the type to liven things up whenever needed so at times you see the Tracy we all know and love. As a film it's very average with some minor enjoyable moments.
