“PUBLIC NUISANCE No. 1.”
“Public Nuisance No. 1” is an exhilarating extravaganza, introducing a. clever comedy team in Frances Day, Arthur RJscoe and Claude Dampier. The film has a happy-ao-lucky quality' and tho h.umor is sparkling and very witty, the story is full of inconsequential humour, and spine tuneful melodies are worked rhythmically into the plot. As a result the film goes with a, swing from start to, finish, and there is never a break in its swift flow of melody and wit;.. The story is about an .entirely useless young' man. who merits the' title of “Public Nuisance No. 1”. He .starts with a- party, crashes into a shop window in his car, and ends up by being put to woirk as a waiter in an hotel on the Riviera by his uncle and guardian, who is enraged atiris escapades. The plot is so, arranged that a shop-girl who ha,s befriended him spends a free holiday at the hotel. Most of the fun in the film comes from the way in which the “public nuisance” almost turns the hotel up side .down'with his ideas, of how a waiter should behave.
