"Bargain Madness" is an American black-and-white comedy short film from 1951, so this one is sool 70 years old. It was directed and co-written by (then not yet) Emmy winner Dave O'Brien (as David Barclay), but the star in this little MGM movie is Oscar winner Pete Smith who narrates as always. This is a little film about women who are dedicated to buying items at a department store that are reduced for a while. I'm sure highly dedicated feminists will find examples of sexism in here, but I personally would disagree. Still that does not make it a funny movie. The idea of clothes getting stuck in a bus door or people forgetting their money at home and being too fat to fit in a tiny piece of underwear may be as harmless as it gets, but that does not make it particularly funny admittedly. Smith gave it his all with the narration, but the material just isn't good enough and the people you see in here are also no female equivalents talent-wise to Laurel and Hardy, that much is safe. The only scene I somewhat enjoyed was when we see the women enter the store and hear a voice that sounds as if they are taking part in a horse race. This actually felt like taken right out of an old Goofy cartoon. I enjoyed it. But it did not make up for the rest of the mediocrity you will find in here from start to finish. Only worth seeing for the very biggest Pete Smith fans. I give it a thumbs-down. Watch something else instead.
