Paul Muni was in a privileged position for an actor in Hollywood, in that he could select his own films. That couldn't have been the case with the above production - it's unworthy of Muni's talent and the rest of the cast.
"Hi Nellie" borders on the ridiculous a lot of the time. The opening 15 minutes are okay and then the plot becomes confusing and contrived. Nothing improves the film henceforth, although Paul Muni and Glenda Farrell do their best!
Luckily, brighter prospects were just around the corner for Muni.
