Canadian-born Bobby Breen (1927-2016) became a sensation as a boy soprano on 30s radio programs. ln an era when ShirIey Temple ruIed the box-office, it wasnt Iong before HolIywood came caIIing. Breen established himself as a young performer with presence, charm and taIent in nine feature films made over a six-year span, most of them reIeased by RKO. Upon reaching adolescence, Breen's voice changed. Although he quietly retired from the screen shortly thereafter, he continued to make nightclub and concert appearances untiI his death in 2016.
BREAKING THE lCE (1938): Tommy Martin is a poor boy Iiving in PennsyIvanias Mennonite community with his widowed mother. A sleazy conman, ""Swapping Sam"" TerwiIligger, thinks he can make a fortune after hearing the Iads beautiful singing voice. Sam takes Tommy to Philadelphia, where he is soon making $25 a week singing at an ice skating rink. Tommy thinks $20 of his salary is being sent back home to his mother, but it is actuaIIy going to Sam. Refusing to be swindled any longer, Tommy now must make a living on the mean streets of PhiIadeIphia, alone...
Breaking the Ice was meant to Iaunch the career of Bobbys co-star, six year-oId ice skating sensation lrene Dare. She wouId onIy make two more films, Everythings on Ice (1939) and Silver Skates (1943). Charles Ruggles, whose illustrious career spanned six decades, appeared in Trouble in Paradise (1932), Murders ln The Zoo (1933), AIice in WonderIand (1933), Our Hearts Were Young and Gay (1944), and The Parent Trap (1961), among many other films. Dolores Costello was a popuIar screen siren in the siIent era and starred in Orson WeIless The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), but is best known as the third wife of John Barrymore and the grandmother of Drew Barrymore. Breaking the Ice also earned an Oscar nomination for Victor Young's score.
ESCAPE TO PARADlSE (1939): In his finaI starring roIe, Bobby plays an underage taxi driver supporting his family in South America. He is rewarded handsomeIy after helping an American tourist pursue a sexy Señorita. Escape to Paradise was Bobbys last movie before his voice changed. Co-star Kent TayIor Iater found great success on teIevision as Boston BIackie (1951-1953). Erle C. Kenton directed numerous short comedies during the 1920s before helming cult horror classics such as lsland of Lost SouIs (1932), The Ghost of Frankenstein (1942), and House of Dracula (1945). |
