A dumb comedy which wasn't all that bad, honestly
25 October 2021
This slightly infamous nonsense was one of Bela Lugosi's latter films. Its pure hokum in case you were wondering, with a plot where a robot belonging to Lugosi's mad scientist is mistakenly delivered to cranky shop owner Old Mother Riley; this brings them together for much hilarity. This actually felt like a precursor to Mrs Brown's Boys, with Arthur Lucan broadly playing Old Mother Riley (there was a series of these films seemingly). As you can probably guess, the humour is basic and crowd pleasing (so long as the crowd is relatively simple-minded). Surprisingly, it wasn't that bad.
