• 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
  • Fringe-level recommend- not near the top 10
