Ali Babi Should Have Left Down With this Film *1/2

Warning: Spoilers
Awful film. It is so inane, even with the talents of Tony Martin, Roland Young and others.

Made in 1937, Eddie Cantor finds himself in old Iraq, filled with intrigue and plots, the major plotter being the usual Douglass Dumbrille.

It's funny how the Cantor role wishes to introduce democracy to the country with the New Deal Programs. Even Happy Days are Here Again is played. Tony Martin has little to do; besides, the lyrics of the songs he songs are as ridiculous as the movie itself.

The best part consists of 3 African-American ladies singing a song twice about the coming of spring.

Nice to see the cameo appearances of stars at film's end. Even they probably couldn't wait for this nonsense to end.
