The film is notable, however, for the knockabout tone, the effortless easygoing chemistry between Wayne and Hardy and for Wayne’s goofy interior monologue.

Its overall mediocrity doesn't get in the way of its pleasant presentation.

One of my favorites of Wayne's films. With Oliver Hardy as a sidekick this is a rollicking fun movie. Plenty of action and a good screenplay makes this a must see for any Wayne fan.
