Review of Top Speed

Top Speed (1930)
6/10

Top Speed has both Joe E. Brown and Jack Whiting as a pair of order clerks at a brokerage house who decide to see how the other half lives. They pose as young society blades while Brown is supposed to deliver an order which he misplaces.

Whiting falls for millionaire heiress Bernice Claire and she him. But will it hold once she finds out who he is. As for Brown he's got entertainer Laura Lee very interested in him.

The climax is a motorboat race which is quite the comic event. Evinrude's motors really take a pounding from Brown. And from Frank McHugh in one of his early films where he plays a perpetually soused millionaire/inventor.

A good one for Joe E. Brown fans.
