1932 sports comedy starring comedian Joe E. Brown as a fireman who wants to join the nearby college baseball team and make it big in both fields. Joe E. Brown was a huge baseball fan and played the game extensively in his younger years, being a member of numerous semi-pro teams. He actually got a lucrative offer in 1911 to join the Boston Red Sox when he was 19 but turned it down because at the same time he had an offer to join a burlesque show (vaudeville for adults rather than families) and took it, reasoning that acting had a bigger chance of a long-term career than baseball. Joe E. Brown himself was pretty much the 1930s Jim Carrey; a rubber-faced comedian who starred in a series of hit comedies featuring plenty of exaggerated facial expressions and physical comedy.

Barring the imaginary one listed above, all fire-fighting apparatuses used in this movie are horse-drawn fire carriages. Were these really still used this far into the 20th century?

One of three baseball comedies Brown was in between 1932 and 1935.
Remade in 1954.

There was supposed to be an anachronistic fire truck in this movie, but I can' t remember what it was. Or was that in the remake?

^ That was likely in the remake.
