I have just finished watching "Beauty and the Bus" with Thelma Todd. It is a shame that Thelma's films are not more available on DVD, but that is another story. This Hal Roach short had potential, but Patsy Kelly drags it right down. Ms. Kelly is really annoying in this film. She does a lot of things that really don't make any sense. I know she was following direction and the script, so that is probably where the weakness lies. Actually the plot-line is rather lame as well. For a comedy, it is not very funny. Hal Roach had a flair for this type of comedy, but they miss the boat with this film. As usual, Ms. Todd gives her all.....Of course, to me, any film with Thelma Todd is well worth watching!
