AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Cristi_Ciopron A musical comedy with Patricia Ellis (as the rocketing songwriter) and Suzanne Kaaren (as the temperamental singer); Suzanne Kaaren had, a few yrs after this movie, a supporting role (and a distinguished billing) in a crazy science comedy with Lugosi. In this movie, R. Carle does again one of his confident, irascible, and senile showbiz bosses, which is his stock character; W. Hull and R. Paige look somewhat similar …. After almost 80 yrs, these people are still offering their beautiful songs …. It is uplifting to watch people behaving well and with dignity, and this may be at least one of the pleasures given by this genre; in this movie, this ideal world is lively and endearingly conveyed. Here, the storyline is well handled, and occasionally sexy. It's a B movie, but a crafty one: mainly, a good comedy, with cool songs. They knew not to gnash; they were saner.Comedy, songs, cast, direction are well assorted, and I feel glad to recommend an accomplished B movie. We are spared the occasional Condescendence towards women, of the screwballs from that age.The blonde lead, a likable girl, not especially talented, though _conqueringly zany, and who certainly deserved her role, manages to upstage the other players with her beautiful tits.

mark.waltz A struggling songwriter, thrown out "gently" by her landlady (who is kind enough to tell her at 1:00 she doesn't have to rush; the new tenant is moving in at 3:00), manipulates her way into the apartment of an already established composer, pretending to be a relative, and predictable complications happen. The rise to success is spectacularly fast, the "relative" returns, and a fairy godmother (in the guise of a feisty countess) helps her to achieve her dreams. All in the matter of under an hour in this silly but watchable screwball comedy with a few minor songs. Not much to praise here; It's all pretty unbelievable and ordinary, but the game leads (Patricia Ellis and Warren Hull) and some memorable supporting players (particularly the always scene-stealing Zeffie Tilbury as the very American countess and the underrated Esther Howard as the landlady) make this mildly pleasant.

jppu You can find this miserable waste of celluloid in those bargain basement 20 movies for $6 type of sets. Some of those films are really good! But not this one.If you purchase one of those sets, please skip over this movie. If I can save one person from wasting 53 minutes of their life, this posting will be worth it.Where o where did republic come up with this poor excuse for a cast? There are no obscure names here, obscure suggesting they were once well known. No has-beens, suggesting actors once had a decent career. The best thing I can say about the leads is that they looked pretty good. I can't comment on the acting since there wasn't any acting. There was some over acting from that annoying second rate Allen Jenkins type character - so incredibly unfunny. The leads were just a waist of space - and they couldn't sing either - and this was a musical. In fact, not one of them could even so much as carry a tune. I really hated the male lead's voice which was just a lot of bad vibrato.There was only a couple of songs. None of them good.So we are down to a bad attempt at comedy (writing and acting), terrible music, non existent direction, and putrid acting. Did I mention the horrid attempt at comedy yet? No charm, no fun, no nothing.Other than that, it was great.Shame on you, Republic Pictures. Stay out of the musical business.Do not watch this film.

Mart Sander Not a bad way to spend 53 minutes staring at beautiful people, glamorous gowns and well designed sets, accompanied by lilting tunes. The story isn't too bad, even though the dialog tends to rely too heavily on comedy even when nothing is ready at hand. Patricia Ellis is so-so - rather pretty yet not as glamorous as several other leading B-ladies of the thirties, and a bit too temperate for a screwball comedy. As she only joins in shortly for the last song, it's hard to say anything about her voice. Warren Hull is a good-looking and sexy hunk with very good voice, but there appears to be no sparks flying between the two. Nevertheless, the film flies by very quickly (at 53 minutes - as presented in Classic Musicals 50 movie pack - it should) and keeps your attention well in grasp. Quite enjoyable, even though there is very little actual rhythm and almost no clouds to be seen.
