The Moviegoer

Errol Flynn, God's gift to this puny human race, displays how the perfect man should disport himself when caught between the realism of a woman's world and the idealism of a life of complete social vapidity. Pursued by Joan Blondell, who is not over-subtle in her go-getting, Mr. Flynn knocks out Allan Jenkins, prize fighter extraordinary, fights in his place, and pursues his inconsequential way through the rest of the film.

Made restless by his girl friend, the Perfect Specimen decides to run away from his wealthy grandmother, May Robson. Miss Robson, fearing for her darling, calls out the G-Men, and thereby Mr. Flynn is given an opportunity to thwart the searching fingers of the law. After various peregrinations he returns to peace and Miss Blondell.

Nobody gets very upset over the "Perfect Specimen." Trivial to an unsurpassed degree, none of the leading roles in the picture show any appreciable amount of acting ability. Edward Everett Horton, as Miss Robson's secretary, and boxer Hugh (Woo-Woo!) Herbert are amusing enough. Best line:--Miss Robeson, on being awakened by a lustily crowing cock, cries, "Dismiss the rooster!"
