Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Amusing comedy team
Review: Very few movies even touch on World War One. This 1930 film features the comedy team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. Bert generally plays the smarter snappier of the duo, Robert plays the soft hearted, soft headed sap. The pair are AWOL in Paris, where Woolsey falls in love with Dorothy Lee's character, who is the daughter of the Colonel who would love to bring them up on charges for their antics. There's singing, there's dancing, there's slapstick, there are snappy one liners and running gags (One MP seems to have his only line as "ME TOO!") The cinematography might be a bit foreign to modern film buffs, the voices seem sharp and tinny, and some of Bert Wheeler's physical comedy (different walks etc) might initially strike a modern viewer as weird. But for the money, this is a great movie--funny, clean, and full of zaniness. I enjoy it more and more every time I watch it.
