Thelma Todd: Prepare to die! No, you're not worthy of dying. No, you insignificant little worm, you; you snake in sheep's clothing, you miserable little cur, you! Oh, you, a poet!

Featured review
Thelma Shines, but Where is Everyone Else?
Despite being an entry in "The Boyfriends" series, Thelma Todd unsurprisingly carries what little of this picture there is. The minuscule plot has Thelma rehearsing her death scene for a play, and being interrupted by Alabam, Mickey, and Dave, who have just been dumped by their girlfriends. For all the gag men available on the Hal Roach lot, this picture has no gags; Dave gets to do some tumbling, and Mickey falls on the floor, but that's about it. There are also an incredible number of needless closeups of everyone mugging because there's nothing else to do. Thelma is wonderful, as expected, and one wishes the end scene with Edgar Kennedy had been longer, but overall nothing really happens in this picture. Strictly for nostalgia buffs (like me).
