Two Guys from Milwaukee

About This Movie

Two Guys from Milwaukee is a quirky piece from '46, directed by David Butler. It has this light-hearted comedic vibe that feels very much of its time. You’ve got the charming contrast between the American cabbie, Buzz, and the royal Prince Henry, who’s just trying to grasp what democracy means. The debate on governance, all while being broadcasted, adds a layer of absurdity that’s pretty entertaining. The performances are solid, with a nice chemistry between the leads. It captures that post-war optimism yet critiques the notion of monarchy in a subtly amusing way. The pacing is rather brisk, keeping you engaged without overindulgence. It’s a film that reflects a specific era’s sentimentality while being playful with its narrative.
