frank capra creativity must have be just about spend by the time he make this film . while it have a few charming moment and and many wonderful performer and capra outright recycling of not just the script but considerable footage from his first version of this story and broadway bill ( 1934 ) and be downright shoddy . it be understandable that he would re use footage from the climactic horse race and which be thrill . but he use entire dialogue scene with minor actor and then bring back those actor and apparently expect u not to notice and for example and that ward bond be 14 year old . unless you want to see one of the last appearance of oliver hardy and skip this one and watch broadway bill instead .
