Some Very Good Moments

Buster West and Tom Patricola deliver some mannequins to a fashion show. A couple of models have lost their jobs because they refuse to date their boss, Jack Hartley. So West and Patricola pass off one of their dummies as a princess to trap the lovestruck Hartley.

I know. As the other reviewer has noted, the absurdity of not noticing that is nigh unto unbelievable. That said, watching old movies, particularly silent movies, has accustomed me to believing seven impossible things before breakfast, and director William Watson had been wielding the megaphone for short comedy since 1918.

Besides, the story, such as it is, is not really important. There comes a moment when West & Patricola demonstrate their eccentric dancing, and that more than makes up for any shortcomings.

She's a mannequin...and no one notices?!?

The premise for "Beautiful, But Dummies" is so bad that it makes you wonder who actually thought this was funny and that audiences would enjoy it! Frankly, I've seen funnier operations!

When the film begins, two idiots (Tom Patricola and Buster West) are sent by their boss to deliver a mannequin to some fashion show. Instead, they pretend the dummy is alive...and create all sorts of mayhem.

I must say that this comedy short is among the worst I've ever seen. Not only is the plot ridiculous, it really makes no sense and isn't funny. The voice of the mannequin sounds exactly like a guy pretending (badly) to be a woman and I cannot imagine anyone thinking the mannequin is real. To make it worse, the comedy team are obnoxious and unfunny. My vote for one of the worst comedy shorts of the 1930s.
