This musical romp through ancient Rome concerns the adventures of innocent delivery boy Eddie. One day while making his rounds in the dull American Midwestern town of West Rome, Eddie, after being clocked on the head, falls into a stupor in which he imagines himself in his burg's namesake -- Rome -- as a royal servant fighting imperial corruption. The goofy young man soon runs into a pile of trouble, in a story line that parallels his experiences in his hometown.

About ten percent of Roman Scandals is one hundred per cent entertainment. But the show on the whole is slow. Go to Full Review
Helen Brown Norden Vanity Fair Jun 11, 2019
Cantor's last film, The Kid from Spain, netted him a personal stipend of $260,000. Roman Scandals will probably make more for him, as it is brighter, gayer, livelier. Go to Full Review
