An American comedy directed by Jean Yarbrough, starring Mantan Moreland.
When the star rower on their boat team is drafted, college students grab a man off the street to impersonate the missing friend. They regret their decision.
Barely tolerable. The lame and predictable plot left much to be desired. The static and shallow characters did likewise. The style and production value were standard for 1941 and the pacing was as stock as it gets. Mantan Moreland was type-cast for comic relief and did his best, although he was not given much screen time. I watched it all the way through and it wasn't too bad. I rate it poor for being watchable, but nowhere near good. I would not advise viewing.
