Strictly Confidential

Richard Murdoch and William Kendall are a couple of confidence men fresh out of chokey. Maya Koumani is the widow of the founder of a firm of patent nostrums, tired of sharing the profits with shareholders. She sizes up the men as morons, and appoints them as joint managing directors of the firm, where they tangle with William Hartnell, who runs the place.

Murdoch and Kendall are a little too stupid to suit me, like watching Laurel & Hardy without any comedy timing, nor, once you've observed them for more than a couple of minutes, charm. Miss Koumani, in her efforts to start a run on the shares and acquire them all is a bit more amusing, but most of the actual humor is provided by Hartnell, whose dyspeptic efficiency is amusing. But not enough to earn a recommendation.
