⭐ Featured Review

A surprisingly funny movie with Jack Haley in top form.
by Art-221999-08-17

"This has got to be one of my guilty pleasures, since I kept feeling the mistaken identity plot was silly and I generally dislike slapstick. But I saw the film twice and both times I found myself chuckling much more than I expected. Jack Haley does his klutsy shtick as a barber impersonating a millionaire to perfection. And with Betty Furness as his love interest, and more comedy by Edward Brophy, Tom Dugan and Raymond Walburn, it's a film most comedy lovers will enjoy...."

💡 Did You Know?

Emile Diedt (1897-1980) created the unique car for this film. The pontoon-shaped fenders would become very popular on factory cars, as well as on custom cars in the years that would follow. Diedt was an American race car builder. He specialized in body-building and metalwork, and his chassis won the Indianapolis 500 in 1947 and 1948 with Mauri Rose, and in 1949 with Bill Holland.
