Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsJoe tips the train porter with Chinese square-holed cash coins. That style of coin hadn't been minted for 25 years in 1936. In fact, one of the coins appears to have been issued by Emperor Sheng Zu (1662-1722), based on the tell-tale four dots near the rim. Of course, the joke of him leaving a strange tip wouldn't work as well with less-recognizable contemporary Chinese coins, which didn't have the square hole.

Featured review
Put Up or Shut Up
Joe E. Brown polishes up his usual braggadocious self in Polo Joe. In this film
Brown is courting society girl Carol Hughes and she's a polo groupie. So naturally
Brown has to become the greatest polo player in the history of the world. As in
Alibi Ike and Elmer The Great where he exaggerates his baseball skills, here he
has to put up or shut up when he's pressured into a polo match. His rival is
future cowboy hero Wild Bill Elliott and Hughes has a thing for men in riding
habit.
There are some nice comedy sequences as Brown takes a crash course in polo with his valet Skeets Gallagher. It doesn't help that Brown is also allergic to horses. The final match is to polo what the final football game in Horsefeathers is to that sport.
Fans of Joe E. Brown should love Polo Joe and seeing it might gain him some new fans.
