Bing Crosby was the first of the Megastar, and has already been on radio and in recording studios to his entry into films as part of Paul Whiteman's band. his foray into films began as a crooner in early musical reviews, and with shorts in the 1930s, he proved he was ready to make the move into feature film stardom. Under the healm of the legendary Mack Sennett, he was given the opportunity to learn a light comedy skill which intertwined well with his crooning and ability to woo his leading lady.
While certainly not much to look at, he certainly had a way with a song, And like Broadway hoofer Fred Astaire, could attract the most beautiful of women with a light- hearted way about him. this farce has Crosby playing himself, mistaking another young woman for his sister and going toe-to-toe with the European aristocrat she is involved with. It's obvious who she'll choose, and after two songs, Crosby has won over the audience as well. Crosby would go onto several decades of film stardom, so it's interesting to revisit these early films that document his rise.
