Had "The Dummy Talks" been exactly like the summary on IMDB, I surely would have loved it. However, there is VERY little about any ventriloquist's dummy in this film and it's mostly just a stodgy music hall film with a bit of drama. In fact, no one is killed until very late in the film. Instead, you are treated to a variety of stage acts and you have to sit through them instead of focusing on plot. A few are good (such as the fighting couple) but most are dull and trite. Overall, a dull little film that could have been crazy and fun.Stodgy and dull...and the summary is not exactly incorrect and makes it sound far more interesting than it really is.
