PUNQ

Rated 27 Aug 2016

One of the few films Edward Everett Horton made in England. At least The Private Secretary (1935) was better then his earlier British outing It's a Boy (1933)... but not by much. Still a messy quota quickie with laughs just thrown randomly in. What this does have is the running joke about Horton having to protect his money from those thieving Brits, and Alastair Sim as a con-man psychic (you know that's a good fit). Just focus on those two things and this'll be fun.
