Featured review
show-within-a-show love story
Reading the description for this, my expectations were pretty low, due to the silly plot, (and it IS !) but what a fun collection of stars. The Wizard (Frank Morgan), five years before he was the wizard. Jeanette MacDonald, singing. Charles Butterworth is HILARIOUS in this one. Didn't really play a major role, but was there for laughs. He died so young in a questionable car accident. He always looked older in his roles, (make-up ?) but died at 49. Ramon Navarro, who DID make the jump from silents to talkies. A treasure trove of fun stars. The plot... oh that. Navarro is Victor, a composer, trying to get his big break. MacDonald is Shirley, the singer. They get together, but for some reason, can't seem to make it big while they are together. They separate, try to hit it big, and may or may not get back together. Victor is finally putting on his big show, and everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Fun short bit as they scheduled singer seems to be drinking the "mouthwash". The plot is fluff, but totally entertaining, and the "show within a show" is in color. Catch it on Turner Classics!
