- GoofsWhen Eddie listens to the correspondence course record on his portable phonograph, there's a record in the compartment in the cover. It shows part of the sleeve for Columbia "New Process" records, dating to about 1926. In a tighter shot in the same scene, the record is gone.

Featured review
Great concluding chase
I haven't seen the whole movie, but just happened upon the last 15 or 20 minutes on TCM. Most of this time was filled by a chase scene that was actually kind of exciting (though it strained credulity that Our Hero wasn't killed about 8 times) and often funny. I was often thinking, "How did they do that?" I don't know about the rest of the film, but his part was definitely worth seeing.
An interesting aspect of changing technology was that the object of the chase was to get/keep possession of a phonograph record, presumably the only copy of an important recorded conversation. It wouldn't have happened in the digital age!
