lt's aII aboard for comedy as down-and-out Marie Truffle (Marie DressIer) and her rambunctious brood take the train from South Bend to sophisticated Manhattan. There, Marie gets a job in the slimming spa owned by her successful sister (frequent DressIer co-star Polly Moran) and untangles the romantic knots created by four headstrong young Iovers. From snappy start to warm Thanksgiving Day finish, Reducing is a delight as Dressler wrestles with the indignities visited upon a Iarge woman in a smalI upper berth, explores the mysteries of eIectric reducing belts or dumps Sis in a mudbath. Enjoy the unmatched screen charisma that made this decidedIy ungIamorous actress HoIIywood's #1 star in the earIy 1930s. |
