What a Blonde

There's no point in discussing the details of this farce, but for various reasons involving wartime rationing and shortages, Hosiery manufacturer Leon Errol winds up with his mansion occupied not only by the usual people, but a bevy of chorines, pompous, judgmental Clarence Kolb and his wife, inventor Richard Lane and Elaine Riley, who's simultaneously Errol's secretary and Lane's fiancée. Also, Kolb thinks Errol is married to Veda Ann Borg, the head of the chorus girls, and that Errol's wife is his house keeper.

Don't worry too much about it, because like all of Errol's starring features in this period - except for the Mexican Spitfires - it looks much like two or three of his shorts stitched together, and the pleasure is watching Errol going through his various shticks in rapid succession, which he does, except for his rubber-legs routine. It's co-written by Errol's frequent writer, Charles Robert's, and director Leslie Goodwins and editor Edward Williams keep things bumping along for a brisk 71 minutes.

This war-ration themed drama is one of the funniest movies I've seen in a while. Starring the comical Leon Farrel the movie takes us through quite a few mix-up antics. Overall a great movie to see when you need a little fun :)

I wasn't born until 30 years after this movie was made, but I haven't had a movie make me laugh this much in a long time. The situations were hysterical and the main character was a hoot!

After a sequence set on a smoke-filled train presumably to add running time, we get the usual mistaken identity and scurrying about Leon Erroll's palatial home until it eventually reaches feature length and ends.

At least it's got Veda Ann Borg in it.

Leon Errol is quick witted and entertaining as ever in this fast paced comedy. A steady diet of laughs keep up with the twists and turns of the comical story line. Ration period problems as well to do's struggle with sustaining everyday life as they know it while having to rely on "commoners" to help make everything right as disruptions stack up. A very good comedy and well worth the hour and eleven minutes!
