Despite the remarks of the other commenter on this movie, I see no resemblance to the Chaplin film of the same name except for the title. This is not a comedy about how Ko-ko hides his pay envelope from his wife, but how Ko-ko wants to get paid like everyone else at the office. "Only people who work get paid" says Max and draws Koko a scene where he can make little ones out of the big ones..... but burglars appear, both in the cartoon and live action world.
Is it my imagination or do I see a lot of tension between the Fleischer brother in this movie? Max was the creator and co-star.... but Dave was the model for Ko-ko and the director. When the studio collapsed, two dozen years later, it was because the two of them were no longer on speaking terms. Were they already fighting when this was made?
