COLONEL EFFINGHAM'S RAID(1946)
An old dude gets a column on a newspaper where his
cousin works as an editor! He starts rousting people
up about this and that, and basically gets everyone,
including those at the paper, argueing about just
about everything!! C+
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
Charles Coburn is his usual wonderful self. He is
in a hurry, as he says `at 65, you have to be in
a hurry'.
A charming and funny `surprise' film - the surprises
are all the little points of humor, which keep occurring
throughout the film usually as punctuations to the events.
A `Greek chorus' comments on Joan Bennett's legs, a
character continually passes out `repent' cards to
characters, mostly the politicians, and look for the
sleeping husband in the background of one scene. A
little heavy on the Southern touches for our current
politically correct times, but not too bad in this
regard. The ending is a little abrupt, but all in
all, a very enjoyable film. - clark-9
