Hollywood's classic funny men get together in this comedy programmer that must have influenced the writers of "Who framed Rodger Rabbit" for the "baby" sketch. But this isn't any animated baby with a cigar in its mouth. It's a cute little baby girl, maybe 18 months, and fold with me and smiles and love all around. Two neighborhood kids are assigned to watch Baby Sandy, and in the. Over the period of a day, Sandy ends up being claimed by two out-of-towners as their baby to impress their wealthy uncle (Eugene Pallette) who ends up chasing it around a building his company is erecting, and causing frustration for police officer Edgar Kennedy who has been sent out to find the baby when the two boys alert their local police department. There's also irritable Billy Gilbert, wacky inventor Misha Auer and the very eccentric Fritz Feld.
These comedians might as well pack it in because it is Baby Sandy whom you will be looking at because unlike other movie babies, she is absolutely adorable, truly a perfect lady. The problem with the film however is that it is absurd in many ways with Pallette's out-of-town relatives not being sensible at all about how they are going to tell him the truth. The sequence on the unfinished skyscraper is one of the funniest sequences I've seen in a film in a long time and it's straight out of something that Harold Lloyd might have done in the silent era. It wasn't until I realized how it reminded me of Rodger Rabbit that I realized that I was actually enjoying it.
