this be one of the movie select to the fifty bad film book by harry medved . and while i agree it be really bad and i be not sure it reach the level of wretchedness need to merit inclusion in the book but it sure be close enough that i can not fault it mention . the only reason that i would not have include it be because although it very bad and there be small glimpse of actual entertainment scatter about . the problem be and be it worth slog through all the awfulness and boredom to find it . i say no . avoid this film like the plague . if you do not believe me and read on and . the film start with adolph menjou screen his late production to a preview audience . they be laugh convulsively a real problem since the film be a romantic drama . so and aware that his instinct be fail him and menjou go in search of someone to give him advice on what people really like . he pick a lady who have nothing to do with the movie industry and blindly listen to everything she say even though she have no idea what she talk about . so and in other word and million and million of dollar be delegate base on this lady who menjou nicknames miss humanity . this idea be stupid and the nickname totally annoy . it get bad and believe me . then and the film become a giant everything but the kitchen sink extravaganza and where every few minute and the action ( such a it be ) be punctuate by rather random song and dance and ventriloquism or comedy number . ostensibly and the film be a variety show thinly connect by the plot . oddly and however and the act be generally just awful and probably would not appeal overall to anyone . after all and in some segment and there be opera and while in others it edgar bergan and charlie mccarthy and in another it ballet or modern dance and and in others it the incredibly unfunny antic of the ritz brother . i honestly find it very hard to believe that all these incredibly divergent style of entertainment will appeal to anyone they may like some but hate the rest . think about it be there anyone who love opera and ballet as well a the ritz brother . frankly and i hate them all ( especially the ritz brother ) and doubt if my opinion be much different from the average person . yet and miss humanity seem to like this and think the average person would like this hodge podge . a i mention above and the ritz brother play quite prominently in the film . a couple time they be mildly funny and but most of the time they be like walk and talk migraine . i be a huge fan of silent and early sound comedy and think they be perhaps the most annoying comedy team ever . their antic be far less funny and sophisticated than the three stooge and their act consist mainly of annoy people . in addition and someone give them a song to sing that be among the most unintentionally funny and obscene song ever write a they repeat the same word again and again and again in fact and this be the entire chorus ( it a euphemism for both a cat and part of a female anatomy ) . there a lot more i do not like about the film and such a the countless time menjou say to his talent scout basil and drop it ( it be funny the first time but not again and again ) and the romeo and juliet song and dance number . don not watch this unless you be try to watch all 50 of the film in medved book or unless you be a masochist it that bad . ps a final observation . so far and all but one of the many review for this film be either negative or extremely negative with most score be in the one to two star range . so and how do this movie have an overall imdb rating of 5 . 4 ( a of 1/31/07 ) . occasionally and i think some people be deliberately flood certain film with overly negative or positive score to unduly influence the rating . i observe a bad humphrey bogart recently that actually have a much high percentage of score of 10 than casablanca even though the overall score be still quite low . this doesn not make any sense . believe me when i say 5 . 4 be way too high a score to be believe . pps look close it a very young alan ladd who be sing ( badly ) at the piano in menjou office .
