Rating:  - Sensational film!
You don't get many opportunities to see Ethel Merman sing in films unfortunately, but this one has her in a couple of wonderful numbers, starting off with the outstanding Earful of Music which she does in a department store where she's selling sheet music. One outstanding song follows another. Eddie Cantor is magnificent. The Nicholas Brothers appear very early in their careers & are amazing in their gymnastic grace & invention. George Murphy & Ann Sothern join Cantor, Merman & the ... Read More

Some years ago, at a compound somewhere in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I saw an amateur production of Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado. The audience--all Western expats--were rolling in the sand-dusted aisles as Ko-Ko and then Nanki-Poo were condemned to death (or marriage) for . . . flirting!
My fellow expats will have the same reaction to Kid Millions. Of course, the movie dates from 1934, and it has the racist, etc., elements that are to be expected. But only a killjoy would condemn it out ... Read More
Rating:  - And the Plot Doesn't Matter
Kid Millions is the story of an inheritance. An old man dies and leaves a fortune but has no obvious relatives to give it to. Three parties are suggested.

They all make the trip to Egypt to claim the fortune, but ... Read More

I too like this film and the technicolor finale. I had it on 16mm and have the original NTSC Laserdisc. I was hopepful for this and other Goldwyn musicals on DVD. A Cantor source told me late last year that the release had been cancelled. But, believe it or not, this year a supplier outside USA charged me for this item in January and like other items it did not arrive. A major disappointment.
The musical numbers in this flm are amongst my favorites from this tuneful era and Mandy goes into my mental ... Read More
Rating: - Eddie Cantor shines in this delightful Goldwyn musical comedy
This is my favorite Eddie Cantor musical comedy. In addition to a wonderful score, the cast features the talented Ethel Merman, while Ann Sothern and George Murphy provide the romantic interest. There is a rousing musical number in which the young Nicholas Brothers dance as only they can. Look for a young Lucille Ball as one of the Goldwyn Girls. If all this weren't enough, the musical finale was photographed in glorious Technicolor as Eddie treats hundreds of kids to his ice cream factory. (the Willy Wonka ... Read More
