Inhalt: |
Roy Erskine (CharIes KaIey) is aiming for songwriting stardom. And if he has to use and abuse a lineup of Broadway babies to do it, that's fine with Roy. This smoky-hearted taIe of a heel on the rise shows the dark side of the moon-June-spoon plots at the center of most earIy musicaIs. The cast includes Cliff "UkuleIe Ike" Edwards (Iater the voice of Jiminy Cricket), whose wide-eyed mug serves as counterpoint to the film's worldIy attitude. The songs include the Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown evergreen "Should I?" More highIights: two production numbers filmed in color and some nifty overhead dance shots created a year before Busby Berkeley wowed moviegoers with the same technique in Whoopee. |
