$1000 a Minute (1935)


$1000 a Minute
, a film directed by Aubrey Scotto (who?) is awful. It's 70 minutes long and not one of those minutes has a joke that lands, even though it's filled with situations that are supposed to be funny. Roger Pryor and Leila Hyams are both attractive folks, and I pity them for having to do $1000 a Minute. This is awful. God, even the premise makes no damn sense. The main guy in this movie doesn't even have to spend $1,000 a minute. He has to spend $720,000 in twelve hours, which, if you ask me, seems considerably easier. The stakes here are pretty fuckin' low.
