"All Over Town" is the first Ole Olsen & Chic Johnson film I have ever watched, so I think I'm not qualified to rate them as a comedy duo yet. In this particular film, they try hard, but most of the time the material simply isn't there. The fact that there is practically no plot could be forgiven if the movie was funnier. Here's the best dialogue exchange, in my opinion, so you can estimate the quality of the picture as a whole: "I heard a shot" - "That was our revolver, we didn't know it was loaded" - "But I heard two shots" - "We had to fire it twice to make SURE it wasn't loaded!". The person talking to Olsen and Johnson in the above scene is their landlord in the film, played by the towering Blance Payson, who was actually a real-life policewoman before becoming a prolific actress! I think she was also the funniest supporting player in this cast, but after the first 10 minutes she disappears. ** out of 4.
