michael d 12/13/2021 Not ready for primetime and a precursor to the style of Wizard of Oz without any of the endearment. See more bill t @Spuzz 07/19/2019 A bit of a slow moving vehicle for Will Rogers. This classic (??) tale doesn't really start to get interesting until well after the first half, but then it starts getting ridiculous. leading us to a most meh conclusion.
