Not a misprint here- came out in 1935 the year before the title- common with this series of films
It stars Jack Benny, Eleanor Powell, and Robert Taylor—debut of Buddy Ebsen as a dancer- long and lean, funny, wearing a Mickey Mouse sweatshirt (he’d go on to do quite a bit of business with Disney)
Song “you are my lucky star”- you’d hear again in Singin’ in the Rain and other songs decades later
A nice crane shot floating into a rooftop party
A lively camera
Awful snoring gag guy
Superimposed surrealism sequence where Powell goes into a big escapism musical number. The whiteout set design is great. This type of spectacle is what the conclusion of An American In Paris and others are paying tribute to
The narrative is fluff but fun—the spectacle is the reason it’s in the archives
