NUT FARM, THE(1935)
A humorous comedy about a man and his family deciding
to move to Hollywood for different reasons! He wants to
buy a farm to live out his days and his wife wants to
make it big as an actress! Enter scumbags who say they'll
make a film around her but they need money! It's pretty
predictable, but fun! B-
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
"Nut Farm" is a pleasant little film. While it's
far from great and not a must-see, it certainly
is a bit better than just a time-passer. The story
is about a family of idiots who plan on moving to
California to buy a farm. I say they are idiots
because along the way they fall into the clutches
of a crook who insists they all will become movie
stars if they just invest in his film. They put
their life savings into the project with this
oily jerk and it's up to Willie (Wallace Ford)
to try to save the day. The problem is that
despite his attempts to warn everyone, they are
such bubble-heads that they won't heed his warnings.
As I said above, this is not a great film by any
standard but is is competently directed and fun.
My complaints about it are relatively few (such
as why would Willie agree to direct this film?!).
Worth seeing if you are a fan of B-movies--like me.
By the way, this is the first film I've ever seen
that used the term 'poverty row' to describe the
ultra-low budget studios. While this was an industry
term, it rarely was used in movies--particularly
in a film made by one of the so-called poverty
row studios (Monogram). - MartinHafer
