Wynne Gibson (uncredited) strips off with her million. Charles Laughton - in the recognisably Lubitsch short - is the raspberry blower. WC Fields and Alison Skipworth teach road hogs a lesson. And George Raft is the forger (H. Bruce Humberstone directed) who can't cash the cheque.
Three tough marines (Gary Cooper, Roscoe Karns and Jack Oakie) miss out (one of Joseph Manckiewicz screenplays). Acting honours though go to May Robson as resident at old ladies retirement home (which becomes a members only club!)
Assorted cameramen too, though not any of the well-known Paramount ones.
Well balanced collection is by no means all comic.
