I was watching this movie, and I thought, parts of this plot seemed familiar. Then I remembered there was a remake in 1974 with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau that was not great, but at least had some good laughs.
This is a very old movie, and it shows. The dialogue is muffled. The actors talk very fast as the running gag. It is hard to catch much of the dialogue. It is boring boring boring. Even the scene when they hide the escaped convict in the desk is wooden.
It is mostly about a group of old newspaper men sitting around a table being rude to each other with insults that don't make much sense.
The actors take turns mugging silently for the camera. It is so amateurish.
