    Eddie Cantor's talent is for those of a unique taste, but this extravagant production has blatant routines for the Goldwyn Girls. The plot has Cantor and his college buddy innocently caught up in a bank robbery and hiding out in Mexico where Cantor is mistaken for a famous matador.

    Eddie Cantor fights a bull and sings "What a Perfect Combination" in this funny Goldwyn musical with Busby Berkeley production numbers.

    I wish more people had heard of this film. While technically crude (it was a very early talkie), For me it's funnier and smarter then the classic screwball comedies to come later on in the decade. I Caught it by accident on the box one night and it had me in absolute stitches from start to finish. Eddie Cantor is obviously like any funnyman going to be a acquired taste, But for me this is one of the funniest film's ever made, with more classic gags and situations per minute than todays so-called- comedy film's. Dated but under-rated, give it a go.
