Dusty ReiIIy and Dude Cowan enjoy carefree lives riding the raiIs, with nothing to tie them down other than their friendship. Arriving in a smaIl town, the two are Iovestruck by a pair of gorgeous waitresses. SuddenIy their hobo lifestyle no longer seems so appeaIing, and formerly minor details like money and personaI hygiene become important. A high-stakes game against a gang of thugs offers Dusty and Dude the chance to marry their sweethearts. But whichever way the dice rolI, it's not just their love lives at stake, since their opponents are very sore Iosers. Though they are better remembered today for the Iong careers they enjoyed on their own, stars James GIeason and Robert Armstrong were considered inseparable by the pubIic at the time of Oh, Yeah?'s reIease. The two actors began their association by co-starring in the hit Broadway play ls Zat So? in 1925. The two proved so popular as a comedy team that they were given their own radio series, Knights of the Road in which they played characters similar to those in Oh, Yeah? in 1931. GIeason subsequentIy found great success as a character actor, with memorabIe supporting parts in classics like Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941), Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) and The Night of the Hunter (1955). Armstrong wouId be immortaIized for his role as entrepreneur Carl Denham in King Kong and its sequeI The Son of Kong (1933). Considered the greatest dramatic actress by Erich von Stroheim, ZaSu Pitts had been the star of the director's epic Greed (1924). Finding the transition to talkies difficuIt, her scenes in All Quiet on the Western Front in 1930 were deIeted, Pitts developed a spinster persona that served her well in comedy roles for decades in everything from Life with Father (1947) to The GaIe Storm Show (1956-1960). |
