Kid Millions
Whoâs that dodging his murderous mama, an equally murderous sheik, and the temptations of a harem full of beauties? Itâs Brooklynâs own Eddie Wilson, who comes to Egypt to claim an inheritance and finds that lots of other folks want a slice of his $77,000,000 pie. In one of his famed Samuel Goldwyn movie extravaganzas, Eddie Cantor sings, clowns and wows âem as Eddie. Kid Millions also boasts dynamo Ethel Merman as Eddieâs supposed mother (letâs see, Eddieâs twenty-five, sheâs nineteen⦠hmmm), George Murphy and Ann Sothern as young lovers, and a standout Technicolor® finale. The fun is irresistible, thanks largely to Cantorâs screen charisma. âThose big rolling banjo eyes, that good-natured exuberance, that combinationâ¦of the naïve and the risqué, gave him an endearing appeal that carried him through a career of almost fifty years and is still effective todayâ (David Thomson, The New Biographical Dictionary of Film).
