Crook's Tour

About This Movie

Crook's Tour, directed by Robert F. McGowan, is a delightful comedy that weaves in mistaken identities with a touch of gangster antics. The film's pacing is brisk, keeping you engaged as the protagonist, an Englishman down on his luck, finds himself in absurd situations after being mistaken for a duke. The performances, particularly the comedic timing, are spot on, punctuating the film's charm. The interaction between the 'duke' and the gangster's daughter creates a mix of tension and humor. Atmospherically, it captures the early 30s vibe with a hint of social commentary on class and deception. The practical effects are minimal but serve the comedic moments well, enhancing that playful tone without overshadowing the story. It's a curious gem from the era.
