Half Shot at Sunrise

Two doughboys absent without leave in wartime Paris dodge the military police and chase girls, and the plot exists to hang routines on: cross-talk, a song or two, Woolsey's cigar and Wheeler's grin. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey kept RKO solvent through the early thirties and were then forgotten; this is the second film built around them and a fair sample of why audiences came. Dorothy Lee is the colonel's daughter and Edna May Oliver the colonel's wife. Paul Sloane directs and stays out of the way. 1930.
