...good clean fun on board ship in "The Captain Hates The Sea," makes us wonder how we ever withstood the lewd sallies of Will Housen movies. Leon Errol, Alison Skipworth, Helen Vinson, Victor McLaglen, and John Gilbert make up an able cast. The captain's uncanny urge to dip beards into soup by pushing the elbows that support them adds a tenseness which is truly genuine. The head steward aware of this weakness forces a passenger to sit next to the captain who provides him with the beard-elbow-soup combination which he is unable to resist. John Gilbert...
...Crichton. This is an exaggeration, for Sir James Matthew Barrie did not trouble to put a trained bear, a tame crooner, Burns & Allen and two mercenary Georgian princelings into his play. In We're Not Dressing Miss Lombard's yacht is wrecked when her drunken uncle (Leon Errol) steers it on a reef. When the passengers reach land, Crooner Crosby masters the situation by cooking clams, building thatched huts and at odd moments intoning such songs as "Love Thy Neighbor." All the others, including the Georgians who wish to marry the heiress, are incompetent and insolent...
...governess tiptoes out of the room, Alice climbs up on the mantelpiece, presses her snubnose hard against the looking glass and suddenly finds that she has walked through it. She floats softly to the floor of the other room. There she has a conversation with her Uncle Gilbert (Leon Errol) whose portrait naturally shows only his rear and the patch on the seat of his trousers. She argues politely with the Clock (Colin Kenny). She investigates goings-on among the members of her father's chess set, who are squealing on the hearthstone because the White Queen...
...head at the hardest blows Leonard's bowarms could deliver. What was left, at 36, of the cleverest boxer the lightweight division ever knew was knocked down in the second round. In the sixth he could not hold his paunch in, found his legs behaving like Leon Errol's. McLarnin hit him on the side of his head with a straight right-hand blow. The Errol legs sagged. McLarnin hit right-left-right-left. Leonard tried to back away, could not move: tried to hold, could not lift his arms. McLarnin looked at the referee...
...time, partly because of the unnecessary subplot involving Lilyan Tashman as an adventuress who tries to steal $50.000 from Mr. Haddock, and precocious Mitzi Green, who frustrates the conspiracy. It is funny when the insane hilarity of Author Stewart is permitted to come to the surface: Mr. Haddock (Leon Errol) wrestling with a brakeman in an empty car; Mrs. Haddock (Zazu Pitts) overcome with seasickness induced by autosuggestion while the boat is still at the dock; both of them indulging in polite social chatter with a street-cleaner to whom they have been introduced by a taxidriver...
