Fast Life

There's only one thing faster than wiseacre Sandy Norton's motor mouth -- his swell new speedboat! Brash, high-spirited William Haines takes the helm in a snappy action-comedy about an ex-sailor with a nifty boat-engine design who talks his way into a job with a millionaire shipbuilder, constructs his dream speedboat on the millionaire's dime and in his spare time, wins the love of his boss's daughter. Filmed on location on Catalina Island, Fast Life finishes a winner with a wave-churning, thrills-and-spills boat race. Funnyman Cliff "Ukulele Ike" Edwards (later the voice of Jiminy Cricket) comes along for the ride as Sandy's jittery sidekick.
