Movie Info

In director Leo McCarey's film The Kid From Spain, actor Eddie Cantor plays mischievious college boy Eddie Williams, who, with his buddy Ricardo (Robert Young), is kicked out of college for sneaking into the women's dormitory. Ricardo (Young), on his way back to Mexico, suggests Eddie (Cantor) come along. First, however, Ricardo must stop at the local bank for some cash. Unfortunately, the bank is robbed as the two boys are leaving, and the fleeing thieves mistake Eddie for their getaway driver.

Critic Reviews for The Kid From Spain

All Critics (8) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (3) | Rotten (1)

The film is short on plot and doesn't have enough musical numbers to recover from the pathetic comedy routines.

Vintage zany musical is Eddie Cantor showcase.

Possibly Cantor's best film. Certainly his most creatively directed and raciest.
