It was praise, but the praise ""is entirely justified. Certainly few better comedy films have ever come to this! country from the 'United States, a cir- ! : cumstance which is all the more strik- j , ing because the whole background of j the Court of Kjng Arthur had to be j : up without the natural advani tage that a medieval castle in rural , England would have afforded, bbut throughout the illusion is excellent. It . is difficult to believe that this is a , lath-and plaster building. The acting, mtll-aiKl I^IOSWI uuituiug- '.lie awbixR, -
