Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
The sewing of contemporary gags in the Roman setting makes for fertile humor
DVDLaser
Cantor's last film, The Kid from Spain, netted him a personal stipend of $260,000. Roman Scandals will probably make more for him, as it is brighter, gayer, livelier.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Young Eddie (Eddie Cantor), amateur historian of Ancient Rome and full-time resident of West Rome, Oklahoma, finds himself facing uncertain exile after crossing the ruthless oligarchs that run his town. Declaring that such corrupt shenanigans would never have been tolerated in the Rome of yore, Eddie soon collides with a cart after his banishment and is rendered unconscious. Transported across aeons in his dream state, Eddie, now "Oedipus," is quickly sold into slavery and embroiled in senatorial shenanigans against the life of the emperor (Edward Arnold).
