Eddie Cantor ruled as the reigning king of madcap music and comedy on stage, screen and over the air for decades. So enormous was his impact that it’s not a stretch to say he built the mold that set the standard – and then simply smashed it! These four films, produced by the legendary Samuel Goldwyn, showcase his talents as he rose from clown prince to king. Included in this collection- and never before on DVD! - are: Palmy Days (1931) A young baker (Cantor) gets set up by a crew of unsavory psychics. The Kid from Spain (1932) Cantor must go undercover as a Spanish bullfighter in Mexico thanks to pal Ricardo (Robert Young). Roman Scandals (1933) An exiled Okie (Cantor) dreams of a life lived in the pagan splendor of ancient Rome. Strike Me Pink (1936) Ethel Merman costars in this fable about meek Eddie Pink standing up to a gang of racketeers.
