CGiii Comment

Watch it for Cecil Lovelace...the 'first' sissy.

Seemingly, this was the film that introduced the 'sissy' to the world - from here on in, the sissy became a regular character in a mountain of films. Oooh thank you Hollywood!

As a film - it has charm because of its age - in truth, it's rubbish.
