The auteurists love it but I found this Gallic farce within a farce to be neither farcical nor Gallic. Just a lot of British actors trying too hard to be funny and not hard enough to be Frogs. After 35 min of non laughter I pulled the plug. PS...What's up with the "Personally Supervised by" credit given to Mervin Le Roy after James Whale's directed by credit? Was Warners worried that ol Jimbo had to be watched lest he undermine this comedy? If so, then they sure didn't get their money's worth with Le Roy, huh?
