Fun To Watch, But Needed More Music
27 September 2006
This wasn't as entertaining as I had hoped it would be, simply because there wasn't enough music in here. It starts off with a bang with "We're In The Money," but then doesn't offer much else - musically - until the end of the story with three Busby Berkeley extravaganzas. One of those was very good (I liked the neon violins!) while the other two didn't do much for me. One had Joan Blondell talking-and-singing and the other was a work-march.

Guy Kibbe and Ned Sparks provide some good humor to the film but I didn't think Aline MacMahon did. She was unappealing and took away from the enjoyment of watching this film.

Overall, it's a very dated but still fun to watch movie. I always enjoy hearing the expressions of the day in these early 1930 films, and also always enjoy those fabulous Berkeley sets.
