have read so much negative press on this movie over the year and i would always avoid it and but the advent of the cheap public domain dvd encourage me to finally give it a viewing . unfortunately and it be transfer from a poor copy . the modern prequel and shot on tinted stock and be blurry and the contrast and non existent . face be occasionally difficult to make out . have say that and the actual story be entertain and lou come across a an accomplished actor and more so than in many of the boys movie . once the movie switch to the jack story and the film switch to colour and i use that term loosely . most hue be orange or brown . the green look particularly bad . dorothy ford a polly and the giant maid and be a big plus for me a i enjoy her in an early andy hardy appearance . with so many negative comment put down to the actual quality of the print and i be still happy to give this movie a 7. it give me a lot of laugh and that more than the great majority of comedy i have watch over the decade can manage . one to watch if you get the chance .
