"The Christmas Party" is a black-and-white sound film from 1931, so it has its 85th anniversary this year already. The star here is Jackie Cooper and this was made the very same year he got his Oscar nomination, but all kinds of big names from that era have little cameos too, such as Clark Gable for example. Check out the cast list for everybody who shows up in these 9 minutes. Unfortunately, in terms of content, it is not too great, but that should not come as a surprise. Watching other people party and celebrate is nothing too exciting if you are just the audience. I personally also wondered why they celebrated Christmas as I thought it was mostly a family event, but I guess company celebrations were already a thing back then and there were many kids to join Cooper celebrating. The final message from Cooper to us is nice, but it does not make up for the boredom from before. I have to give this one a thumbs down.
