Not super funny. Joe E. Brown is way too toned down as a cowardly botanist for that. He's heavy into this glasses character, so it was fun seeing him do something a little different, even if the comedy is pretty much what he always did. What was cool was seeing him get psychoanalyzed by Wheeler & Woolsey's dame Dorothy Lee! Seeing her mix with other top comics of the 30s was interesting. Though another precode actress, Ruth Hall, kind of stole her thunder here.
