Humor is clearly a personal matter, with what makes one person laugh uproariously leaving another person silent, but those who favor a "nutty" approach to comedy will find a great deal to like in Road Show. Sure, Show has its flaws. For example, the plot in some places is put together with spit and gum, and even when it's made of more solid stuff, it still isn't a work of art. But there's a joyous spirit to Show, a zany devil-may-care attitude that is very appealing, and very infectious to boot. The set-up is simple (and simply preposterous), and it wears a little thin, but it also provides ample opportunity for gags and shenanigans. The musical numbers are nothing special, but The Charioteers do a fine job with them, and the trio of credited directors keep Show moving at an appropriately lively pace. John Hubbard is fine as the man wrongly committed to an asylum, and Carole Landis is gorgeous and engaging as the carnival owner he hooks up with. But it's Adolphe Menjou who walks off with the film. Menjou is quite simply a fruitcake, and it's a treat to watch him having the time of his life, taking very seriously the extremely odd way his character has of looking at life. Menjou is crackers, and at its best, so is Road Show.
