This slapstick comedy is such a hoot, and the cabby's wife such a bat from hell, that I could not wait for the next advert- Thanks for posting!

Sid spent his career playing comic relief in Lippert productions, and later, in the 'Make Room for Daddy' TV series. Glad he had this chance at a lead role. Nice little guy.

"You won't need any witness. They'll believe you're a character!"

Ha ha! Nothing can be said more truer than THAT on Sid Meltin:)

Sid Melton was a terrific character actor.

Vito Scotti was the drunk in the cab.
He played the Japanese sailor on Gilligan's Island.

I love these old movies. Sid looks like the model for Johnny Cab.

Sid played a very fascinating character in the Sam Fuller classic WW2 "The Steel Helmet" as the handler of the pack mule carrying the unit's supplies.

I'd either show that woman the door or leave out it myself!

In the end this movie made me nervous ...

[LesterMoore]

This actor had such a long and varied career. His handsome face permitted him many roles and he portrayed them all equally well. Hopefully he enjoyed many warm memorable times in his long life.

In this movie Marjorie Lord was Sid Melton's co star in a few years Melton was co star along with leading lady Lord to Danny Thomas on the Thomas show .

[denniscarroll]

I really had to get used to his "dry" humor as a comic relief in those Lippert crime movies. ...this is much better.

[arieswaters]

I want to enjoy this movie but at 8 minutes and 50 seconds all I can think of is punching that woman in the face

[Mindswamp]

Was he in a movie in which he was eaten by a giant reptile? Seems like the hero was Batmans Joker and featured Beaver Cleavors father.

Iris Adrian was an attractive comic actress who had an overpowering mouth who made many movies and TV shows . Her comic prowess overshadowed her beauty . Tom Neal was a muscular law school graduate who became an actor . He beat up frail actor Franchot Tone over the affections of a certain sexy blonde actress . Mr. Neal and the blonde actress both had a rather sad existence in their later lives .

He do all the work, bring the money but bullied by a nasty loud-mouth wife who spent his hard earned money. Wost luck for a man

[deezynar]

It had a couple decent moments, but it didn't redeem itself.

Did I hear the name Onslo? He looks more tidy than Daisy's Onslo.

Who the heck is Sid Melton? The Melton I know is a suburb north of Melbourne, the original and real one!
