Steve D @RT35616104 Jan 2, 2024 Not enough to it to work. See more Mar 16, 2014 Mervyn LeRoy directed this breezy early talkie about promoter/con man William Powell trying to sell his scheme to make rubber out of sewage. It's all pretty silly, but quite enjoyable. See more Jan 4, 2013 I've been filling in my William Powell gaps by catching stuff like this off TCM, and this was a pretty watchable little outing with Powell as a fast talking huckster, but overall I never really connected with it beyond my enjoyment of his patter. Rental? See more Dec 8, 2011 not bad B movie fare See more Read all reviews
