Hook, Line and Sinker (1930)


HOOK, LINE AND SINKER  (1930)  
¢ 1/2
    D: Edward F. Cline
    Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Dorothy Lee,
    Jobyna Howland, Ralf Harolde, Hugh Herbert
A severely dated comedy about two insurance salesmen who take over the management of a rundown hotel. Wheeler and Woolsey were a successful vaudeville team whose film work hasn't exactly stood the test of time. Watch this movie and you'll see why. Director Eddie Cline had better luck (and much better material) working with Buster Keaton and W.C. Fields.
