PodBill Just what I expected

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) but it certainly was not a piece of quality filmmaking either. The version I watched was the television version, which runs for 43 minutes roughly. It is a black-and-white film and was made in America during World War II. It is basically a spoof of the current political situation and only has one goal: to show people how big of an idiot the leaders of Germany, Italy and Japan were at this point. This political background is also the only reason to maybe watch it in my opinion. It is 100% comedy, but never really funny. The jokes are more on the level of monkeys spilling ink into the antagonists' faces and the over-the-top American patriotism depicted in here does not exactly help either. This is actually the sequel to another movie, so maybe check that one out too if you enjoyed this one here. Unfortunately, neither the directors, writers or actors in here are fairly known and maybe this is also a reason why it did not turn out so well. I have quite an interest in politics, especially in World War II, but this one here did not do much for me. Not recommended.

bkoganbing Nazty Nuisance is the kind of World War II propaganda film that really hasn't worn well with time. In fact this is the kind of film that rarely saw the light of day after the revelation of the Holocaust. Reducing, Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese to the level of the Three Stooges after that just wasn't funny.This film was produced by Hal Roach who was the genius of so much screen comedy that has stood the test of time. Nazty Nuisance just isn't in the category of a good Laurel&Hardy film.Bobby Watson who played Hitler on call in so many films good and bad gets a summons from a tropical island nation with whom the Nazis want to sign a treaty and then break the treaty when it becomes inconvenient. But the chief Ian Keith won't negotiate with no one, but the head man. Hitler was going to go alone, but his allies Mussolini played by Joe Devlin and Japanese warlord Sukiyaki played by Johnny Arthur hear about the trip and want to come along.In the meantime a stranded American PT Boat crew led by Emory Parnell and Frank Faylen are on the island and when they see the three dictators there, the crew goes into action. Not kill them mind you and maybe end the war quicker, but put pepper in their soup course while dining with the chief. Stuff like that which is great in the usual run of Hal Roach films, just doesn't cut it here.

Michael_Elliott Nazty Nuisance (1943) * 1/2 (out of 4) Hal Roach comedy is a sequel to The Devil With Hitler has Hitler, Suki Yaki and Mussolini traveling to a deserted island to sign a deal with an Arab but there's an American sailor there who has his own plans. This here comes as a real disappointment because I really enjoyed the previous film for its rather unique story. As with that film, this one here runs 44-minutes but there are only a couple laughs. There's one huge laugh where Hitler is fed soup with a box of pepper in it but outside of this scene there's really not much going on.

dbborroughs This is the sequel to The Devil With Hitler concerns Hitler, Mussolini and Suki Yaki going on a secret mission to sign a treaty with an Arab sheik. Once in the desert the trio run into not only the sheik but also a sailor with a talent for magic.I don't know which is a better movie, this or the first film. The first film has long set pieces and not much in the way of "plot", this one has more of a plot and less set pieces. Both are funny, which is all that matters. Its more craziness as the three leaders attempt a game of oneupmanship with each other and only prove they are on up on no one. This is the lighter of the two films with the eeriness of Hitler's pronouncements about the horrors of the Third Reich gone, replaced by a magic act and an ape. Its a great deal of fun.Worth seeing, especially if you can double feature it with the first film. (Apparently after the initial release the two "streamliners" were cut together into a regular feature)
