Fanny Brice walks off with the movie

A controversial choice as many aspects of her comedy and schtick has badly dated. She is over-the-top and cornball but don't ask me why it just seems to work. She's very frenetic and borderline hysterical as a Jewish housewife trying desperately to salvage a winning lottery ticket her husband gave to the landlord. The rest of the film doesn't really rate a mention though there are interesting parts. Spotty at best but Brice walks off with it.
