Ernest Truex is a delight in a small size. He looks funny, acts funny, sounds funny and IS funny. He brings to the screen a new comedy technique that is refreshing. (Print Ad-Winthrop News, ((Winthrop, Minn.)) 16 February 1933)
IMAGINE THIS-24 hours to plot the perfect crime And He Couldn't Think of a Way To Commit Murder! (Print Ad-Greenfield Daily Recorder-Gazette, ((Greenfield, Mass.)) 28 February 1933)
