The premise is pretty ridiculous...but did they manage to STILL make it funny?
The premise to "Now We'll Tell One" is completely ridiculous...too ridiculous. Apparently, some scientist has created a belt. When worn, it makes the person assume another's personality...miles away even. See...I said it was ridiculous!!
In the next scene, Charley (Charley Chase) sees his girlfriend, Muriel. He asks her once again to marry him, but she refuses...saying he's too wimpy to make a good husband. Of course, you KNOW that sooner or later he'll wear the belt and will change personalities.
So, despite the dopey premise, is it any good? NO! Much of what follows uses some of the worst rear projection car chase scenes in comedy history! There are also a few other personality changes...none of which make this one worth seeing. A rare total misfire for Chase.
