Best movie of this year hands down!

Dreadfully Boring

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

John H Auer made many movies still hard to find. Check on IMDb and you'll be surprised by all the items not commented - yet...This one makes no exception. I got it from a 16mm print, quite good; I never argue about print quality. It's a rare gem and we are supposed to accept it as it is. Period.The topic has already been told above. Really nothing exceptional here, a mix up of comedy, crime, a scheme very usual in those days, late thirties, early forties. I am not in love with this kind of stuff. It is sometimes painful for me to support the viewings. But, as I usually say, those films are not charmless. There will always be movie buffs to purchase them. And this is a good thing. Those nearly lost gems deserve to be discovered. Everything else remains only my own opinion.
