Kissing Time (1933)
6/10
The Declining State of Operetta
17 October 2020
The happy peasants are celebrating Saint Marco Day, with a carefully directed fiesta aimed straight at the center of the audience's front row. In march General Don Zelaya and Lieutenant Georges Metaxa. Both ogle Jane Froman, but she prefers the younger man's kisses.

If you like nonsensical plots and the sort of music that was popular on Broadway in the 1920s, this may be the short subject for you. Miss Froman can certainly sing the mannered torch songs of the period; that's probably why she wound up singing the songs for Susan Hayward in WITH A SONG IN MY HEART.
