The Carnation Kid
1929, English. Directed by E. Mason Hopper & Leslie Pearce.
When you see and hear this snappy, peppy comedy romance, you'll vote it our greatest since "The Wolf of Wall Street". It's 75 per cent talking- and a regular knockout.
It's a case of mistaken identity in this comedy that centers around a country bumpkin mistaken for a Chicago hitman.
