I really can't rate this film based on the surviving four minutes, but what remains looks fascinating and makes it clear how much we've lost of our film heritage.

A little Danny Kaye goes a long way in my reckoning. While this film can be entertaining at times, it does nothing to convince me that Kaye rarely plays anything other than the same character in all of his movies, even in this film where he plays (supposedly) diametrically opposite twins. Maybe my attitude will change after watching the other Kaye films in the Criterion Channel bundle. At least, I hope so.

How many movies can you watch with a great fat silly grin on your face throughout?
