Bouboule's Gang

This one is a very pleasant starring vehicle for Georges Milton, playing a carefree Parisian taxi driver -- carefree except for his wife, who has confused a racehorse with his mistress. It's your basic musical-comedy show, with a sketch of a plot involving racehorses, an eloping couple, a hysterical stepmother and the stupidest cop this side of Tom Kennedy -- just over 40 per cent of Broadway musicals in the 1920s seem to have the same elements.Milton runs through the usual clowning well enough, including a bit in drag and sings three songs with a couple of reprises in a lively fashion. Add in the usual leg show and a trip to Cote D'Azur and the result is a good, if not unique musical.
