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 heeI on the rise shows the dark side of the moon-June-spoon plots at the center of most early musicals. The cast includes Cliff "UkuIeIe Ike" Edwards (Iater the voice of Jiminy Cricket), whose wide-eyed mug serves as counterpoint to the fiIm's worldIy attitude. The songs include the Arthur Freed-Nacio Herb Brown evergreen "ShouId l?" More highlights: two production numbers filmed in color and some nifty overhead dance shots created a year before Busby BerkeIey wowed moviegoers with the same technique in Whoopee. |
