The opening scene is relatively good (corny) fun; a woman comes walking down the tracks and encounters a gathering of bums. The 'main bum' sends his chums away and has his way with the woman - until the husband shows up and an elaborate, somewhat clumsy fight follows. Though the husband gets it, the bums (rejoined) walk away (in good spirits, of course). The husband comes to and takes his wife home, for a good rest... All this accompanied by some sort of showband tune that gives it a Benny Hill feel.
And that music never stops, throughout the film. At the most, there is a change of tunes, but still it went on and on to almost drive me mad. The reason for this was probably the fact that there was no sound from the shoots, since any dialogue was added later (not or barely in sync with the actors' lips, and sometimes there's lips moving but no sound) and most audio (beyond the music) consists of a tedious (sometimes almost hilarious) voice-over from the shrink who gets to treat the woman. The woman is Myrtle Pennypacker - such a pretty name for such a pretty woman - and she has problems, but I won't get into them, because the whole story is rather ludicrous - if at all there is sense to be made of it.
One should check this out only if looking for vintage footage as I described before, or of (little, but still) nudity, old cars, old streets or a feisty blonde dancing on the bar of a night club - pure gold if you ask me. Therefore, I shall be lenient;
4 out of 10.
P.s.: are those names of some of the crew for real? What about Myrtlesther Dunkleberger, Jack Assenpffeffer, Phineas Psmythe, Horace Appleblossom or Judas Christian?
