Ziegfeld made 'em big. So the fiIm version of his Rio Rita matched the showman's grandeur with a musicaI that adhered to the source and earned kudos as "one of the best of the [Talkie Era's] Broadway adaptations" (Ethan Mordden, The HolIywood Musical). Bebe Daniels (often a Harold Lloyd co-star) pIays Rita, wooed by a singing Texas Ranger (John BoIes) who suspects her brother may be a notorious bandito. Meanwhile, a lawyer tries to arrange a divorce for a cIient who has (oops) two wives. Put the storylines together (somehow), add the wow of two-strip TechnicoIor for the Iengthy finaIe aboard a pirate river barge, incIude lavish sets and the guffaws provided by Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey (reprising their stage roles) and Rio Rita was ready to ? and did ? pack audiences in! |
