Featured review
Thelma Todd decides to let Zasu drive the car she borrowed. Zasu proceeds to crash into everything, eventually ending up in a barn. The farmers keep the car and send Zasu and Thelma packing. Meanwhile a lion escapes, Thelma and Zasu try to get the car back, and Zasu bumps into stuff.
Not a bad comedy, though Zasu is better served in this one than Thelma, as she gets more opportunities to display a knack for Olive Oyl type physical comedy. (Zasu's unique relationship with her arms and legs get ample display here.) Thelma's comic character here is Oliver Hardy like (right down to the exasperated stares into the camera), which is a perverse kind of miscasting. Todd is very funny in movies like Horsefeathers (Marx brothers) and Fra Diavolo (Laurel and Hardy) where her seductive good looks are part of the character. Here -- oddly -- they are ignored. Guess Hal Roach figured the guys on the farm were more interested in the Old Bull than the pretty girl.
