VHS Movie Reviews of Roman Scandals (Samuel Goldwyn Classic Collection)
Movie Review: 'Oedipus' Cantor
Summary: 4 Stars
The musical comedy ROMAN SCANDALS was scripted by George Kaufman (Broadway playwright for the Marx Bros. and others). It's the story of a young history buff named Eddie (Cantor) from West Rome, OK who dreams he's living in 3rd Century Rome. Sold as a slave, 'Oedipus' ends up as food taster in the court of Emperor Valerian. Political intrigues in the old capital of the ancient world mirror the corruption going on in modern West Rome.
Co-starring as 'Olga' is 1920s torch singer Ruth Etting. Her tragic story was depicted in LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME (1955), with Doris Day as Ruth. (DVD version)
"Roman Scandals" includes several Busby Berkeley production numbers featuring Goldwyn Girls Lucille Ball and Paulette Goddard. Primary cinematographer is Gregg Toland of "Citizen Kane" fame. (Watch for the diminutive Billy Barty as 'Little Eddie.')
As of 7/09, "Roman Scandals" was not available on DVD.
Eddie Cantor appeared on Broadway and and in the film version of Flo Ziegfeld's musical WHOOPEE (1930), an early two-strip Technicolor picture. (VHS only)
