PUNQ

Rated 16 Feb 2015

Hugh Herbert has to marry a widow to inherit 59 million, so a chance acquaintance with suicidal Roger Pryor comes in very handy! Well, widow Helen Broderick wasn't a hand in this too. So does the band lead who'll get the money if he don't marry a widow. And so starts the absurdities! Silly offbeat comedy, a few tunes and dance numbers for a surprisingly lively obscure RKO farce.
