Without a doubt this movie is outstanding. It is hilarious, entertaining and musical. The black and white adds to the greatness. I highly recommend this movie.
Rating: - Eddie Cantor rules here and elsewhere
Why is Eddie Cantor so obscure? He certainly has the talent to rank as one of the greatest. It is almost as if he was black listed, or else crushed someones top hat. He deserves more exposure, DVD release please!
Rating: - MY FIRST CANTOR FILM...
This was my 1st Eddie Cantor movie. I found him one of the best comidieans I have ever seen, and he lights up this movie with a really funny and remarkable comedic energy. But as for the movie itself, it was pretty bland and the musical numbers were DUDS. Never very clever, they are pretty much just an excuse to showcase some girls and Eddie Cantor and Ruth Etting are the best things about them. I was movied by Ruth's singing of that song and thought she proved to be a great actress by that. I cried. But if you are looking some good, lavish, numbers then skip Roman Scandals.

Rating: - Terrific Film!
Arguably Cantor's best film (with "Whoopee" and "Kid Millions" a close second and third), blessed with a great central premise (a la "A Connecticut Yankee"), terrific performances (watch for Lucille Ball as one of the Goldwyn Girls in "Keep Young and Beautiful"), and a great score (the aforementioned number, as well as "Put a Tax on Love" and "Build a Little Home"). A truly captivating time capsule of the musical diversions made to offset the Great Depression, and a compelling reminder of why Cantor was reckoned one of the bright lights of his day!
