Short Review

"If it worked once, it'll work again," or so one can imagine the producers of this film mumbling to one another following the success of "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines," "only do it with cars!" That might've been the case too, if they'd've troubled themselves to put some creative effort into the thing, such as actually writing jokes. As it is though we are given a pale imitation, despite the work of Cook, Moore and Thomas,with speeded-up pratfalls substituting for real comedy.
