Half Shot at Sunrise

I originally watched this movie when it was included in a set of 6 war movies on a combination disc of war classics. Given that the other movies on the disc were more war dramas I was expecting something similar even while reading the introductory paragraph on the box. While the movie is set during WWI in Paris (which in that war was NOT occupied by the Germans) that is about all of the war you will get. What this movie is is a Charlie Chaplin-esquire farce of two guys who go AWOL and have a good time. Obviously these two officers are of lesser caliber in the Army. The movie is typical of the slapstick comedy in the 20s and 30s, hence the Charlie Chaplin reference, but this is a talking movie but it does not rely on dialogue for the laughs. Not quite as classic as a Chaplin movie but decently funny none the less.

Comedy team Wheeler and Woolsey are soldiers in WW I who go AWOL, impersonate military police, flirt with the locals, and cause havoc where-ever they go. Edna May Oliver is in here as the Colonel's wife, with her usual disapproving glances and sarcasm. The Tiller Girls perform a bit in the cafe. The boys pretend to speak french in a terrible, insulting fashion. and everyone pretends not to notice. This was one of their earlier films, and could use a restoration -- the version I saw had some rough spots in both sound and picture quality. It's a fun, light film. The usual sight and banter gags as all their other films, but it's fun to watch the vaudeville bits taped together into a film. Moves pretty slowly, as they try to stay one step ahead of the real MPs. Directed by Paul Sloane, who also directed them in "Cuckoos". I caught this one on Epix channel. It's entertaining.

Wheeler and Woolsey are two of my favorite comedians from this era. You just never know what to expect. This takes place in France during World War I, and while there is always an expected amount of sexual innuendo in their movies, (and in a lot of movies made before the codes) this one has the most I've seen yet. Ex. Cute innocent Dorothy Lee says to the boys she's about to turn in as A.W.O.L. for reward "I expect to make $500 from both of you tonight." to which Woolsey exclaims to Wheeler, "You're in Paris now boy"! Don't even get me started on Leni Stengel as the exotic Olga. I found this movie very enjoyable, even when things invariably get silly.

Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey play a couple of soldiers during the late World War who like to be permanently on holiday in Paris. It seems in Half Shot At Sunrise that the majority of Pershing's military police force are out chasing them. And the police seem to have been trained at the Keystone Academy. But while all this is going on Wheeler has made the acquaintance of their perennial leading lady Dorothy Lee who is the daughter of their commanding officer George MacFarlane. In fact MacFarlane would like to dally with a Mam'selle or two. If you were married to Edna May Oliver that would be understandable. I never understood why Wheeler who was always playing these schnook characters before Woody Allen perfected them was always getting the girl. I always thought the strong end of the team was Woolsey with those wisecracks and that ever present cigar which seem to have been implanted in his mouth. Fans of the duo and others should like this amusing military comedy.

Two soldiers go AWOL in Paris during World War 1. An enjoyable comedy made by RKO. Dorothy Lee, a favorite of Wheeler and Woolsey is delightful in this film, especially the musical number "Whistling the Blues Away." Edna Mae Oliver has a small but effective role as the snooty wife of a general. Leni Stengel is also very effective as the beautifully dressed and elusive Olga.

Wheeler and Woolsey play two service men during the First World War and go AWOL in Paris changing identities as they go to avoid being captured. How good they are at not being caught is best summed up early in the film when the steal their image off a photograph. Its lunacy from an earlier era and at times its quite funny. The duo made numerous film through the mid 1930's stopping only when Woolsey died of kidney failure. This is a film thats not quite on par with the duos later films. Thats not to say its not funny, it is; its just that films were still feeling their way around sound and so the cameras often had limited motion and set ups which make them feel stiff. If you can get past that feeling and want to see an under appreciated comedy duo then rent this or any of the other Wheeler and Woolsey films.

Always say "Dorothy Lee" in the same breath as "Wheeler and Woolsey". Here our favorite pert, loose-limbed ingénue has a grand time singing and dancing and trading quips with the two comedians who are on the loose in Paris in 1918. The script by Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle, Ralph ("Five Dollars-A-Word") Spence, James Ashmore Creelman (who will always be remembered for King Kong) and the famous Broadway librettist Anne Caldwell represents a deliciously zany parade of visual and verbal nonsense which the performers endeavor to keep moving at an admirably fast pace despite the well-meaning efforts of stodgy director Paul Sloane to slow it down. A special pat on the back (if "back" is the right word) for Leni Stengel who makes quite an impression in a whole crowd of lovely Parisians. Production values are remarkably extensive. RKO were obviously expecting to clean up on this one.
