Rather like a belligerent bullfrog, isn't it? I first saw him in Robin Hood and Mark of Zorro, but he's so much fun in whatever he's in.
And I have to smile every time I watch that scene in Mark of Zorro where Linda Darnell tells Tyrone Power that Eugene Pallette has been arrested: "they say he is Zorro and they're going to hang him." Ummm, Zorro may wear a mask, but there is NO WAY that anyone, much less someone as sharp as Basil Rathbone, would think that Eugene and Tyrone could be the same person.
