Small Time Crooks (2000)
Hilarious!!
I thoroughly enjoy watching Small Time Crooks over and over again because the humor is so goofy, yet so timeless. This is classic material, derived from the style of comedy that Woody so loves...the old masters, the Marx Bros. and other old-time greats. I recommend it to everyone.
A Few Moments with Eddie Cantor, Star of 'Kid Boots' (1923)
A Window To The Past
While the film quality might not be spectacular, A Few Moments With Eddie Cantor is a treat for Cantor fans and comedy fans alike. This precursor to his lavish films with Goldwyn is an intimate window into what a stand-up performance by Cantor must have been like. Some of the jokes are dated but no less enjoyable, delivered delightfully by the one and only "Apostle of Pep." One can't help but laugh and sing along with Eddie as he gives out with lively renditions of "Oh Gee, Georgie" and "The Dumber They Come (The Better I Like 'Em)." It's unfortunate that AMC no longer plays this short from time to time, as they used to. More people, I think would be turned onto Eddie Cantor. That's how I was introduced to him.
