About This Movie

Kid Millions, directed by Roy Del Ruth, is this quirky blend of comedy, drama, and music, all wrapped in the charm of the early 30s. The plot follows a Brooklyn kid who suddenly inherits a fortune from his archaeologist father, leading him on a wild adventure to Egypt. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which is typical of the era, but it adds a certain whimsical quality to the film. The musical numbers, while not groundbreaking, are lively and showcase some fun choreography. The performances are spirited, especially from Eddie Cantor, who brings a certain energy to his role. The practical effects, especially in the Egypt sequences, give a tangible vibe that’s really something to appreciate. It's got a unique atmosphere that mixes the hustle of New York with the exotic allure of the ancient world.
