⭐ Featured Review

Well acted old fashioned cynical American comedy.
by ianmcg1999-03-07

"This minor movie is worth watching but a bit corny by modern standards. It has a funny scipt and it is well acted by its little known cast. It is kind of hard boiled and cynical. It is a send up of American politics and society of the time when the film was made, and it gives some perspective for the present day...."

💡 Did You Know?

The radio at Axton's ranch is an extremely rare 1935 Zenith model 1000Z "Stratosphere". Only 350 were made and it was priced at $750 ($16,600 in 2023). It used 25 vacuum tubes and its cabinet is made of inlaid walnut, elm and laurel woods. It had a then cutting-edge automatic volume control. In 2023 these radios, completely restored, can fetch over $50,000. It is the "holy grail" for radio collectors and museums.
