Stemming from a short story, the enterprise suffers the natural hazard of sustaining the idea over a distance, and the adapters are not overly successful in their efforts to pad it to the requirements of a full-length motion picture. The film has a tendency to work down instead of up to a climax, and toward the end it thins out pretty rapidly. But it makes for good, unpretentious fun, and it contains more honest laughter than you will find in many more elaborate screen entertainments."Sennwald Andre 1935-12-21 How to Spend $1,000 a Minute, as Told in the New Motion Picture Farce at the Roxy Theatre 11 The New York Times References External links 0026027 1,000 Dollars a Minute Category:1935 films Category:1935 comedy films Category:1935 English-language films Category:American comedy films Category:American black-and-white films Category:Films directed by Aubrey Scotto Category:Films produced by Nat Levine Category:Republic Pictures films Category:1935 American films Category:English-language comedy films
