A Timeless Tale of Comedy and Spectacle

Eddie (Eddie Cantor), a good-natured but clumsy delivery boy in West Rome, Oklahoma, finds himself at odds with the town’s corrupt officials. Banned from his hometown, Eddie falls asleep and dreams he’s transported to ancient Rome. There, he becomes embroiled in court intrigues, slave auctions, and a plot against the emperor – all while trying to win the heart of the beautiful Princess Sylvia.

Filled with Cantor’s signature physical comedy and rapid-fire wit, Roman Scandals seamlessly blends contemporary humor with historical satire. The film’s lavish production numbers, choreographed by the legendary Busby Berkeley, showcase the famous “Goldwyn Girls” (including future stars Lucille Ball and Paulette Goddard) in spectacular fashion.

Eddie Cantor’s Comic Genius

Roman Scandals perfectly showcases Eddie Cantor’s unique talents as a comedian, singer, and physical performer. His portrayal of the well-meaning but hapless Eddie (and his ancient Roman alter-ego Oedipus) demonstrates why Cantor was one of the most beloved entertainers of his era. From slapstick chase scenes to cleverly risqué musical numbers, Cantor’s performance is a masterclass in early Hollywood comedy.

Stunning Musical Numbers and Choreography

The film features several memorable musical numbers, including:

• “Build a Little Home” – An uplifting ensemble piece with clever visual gags

• “No More Love” – A sultry torch song performed by Ruth Etting

• “Keep Young and Beautiful” – The film’s standout number, featuring elaborate Busby Berkeley choreography
