Title screen from the movie Sucker Money

Sucker Money (1933)

Mischa Auer as the crooked swami Yomurda is the only reason to spend any time with this exposé of the fake spiritualism racket. Reporter Jimmy Reeves (Earl McCarthy) goes undercover and joins the swami’s gang, making friends with one of the other helpers, Mame (Mae Busch); the reporter also must look out for the interests of Clare Walton (Phyllis Barrington) and her father (Ralph Lewis), who are the targets of one of the swami’s schemes. The acting is at best serviceable, and the storyline needed some additional attention. Watch for the fun as the police ineptly try to raid the swami’s place!

  Not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.

Movie 361 for 2021.
