WE don’t claim a thing for “Forty Winks” except that it’s the best fulllength comedy on the market today — and we can prove it!
The New York Times said: “One of the most brilliant farces ever picturized.” The Tribune: “If you want an hour of unadulterated joy, see ‘Forty Winks.’ ” The Mirror: “One of the merriest and most delightful comedies it has been our good fortune to see in many a day. Gales of laughter swept the Rialto.” And every reviewer hailed Raymond Griffith as the best up-andcoming comedy bet on the screen today and classed him right up with Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton.
“Forty Winks” is fast and furious fun. It’s got romance and class too — the de luxe polish that puts Paramount Pictures above all others. It was adapted by Bertram Millhauser from the David Belasco play, “Lord Chumley,” written by Belasco and Henry C. De Mille. Directed by Paul Iribe and Frank Urson.
