Featured review
One Of Those Clockwork Plots
Vaudevllians Jack Haley and Grace Bradley have their radio try-out, but Haley has mike fright and collapses. Miss Bradley walks out, so he gets a job as a page at the station. He makes friends with Alice Faye, and she has him practice with a dummy mike.... which is connected to Ben Bernie's radio feed, so suddenly there's a national craze for 'the Phantom Troubador'. In the midst of this you have top-billed Bernie and Walter Winchell in a slanging feud, as well as Patsy Kelly, Ned Sparks, Walter Catlett, Joan Davis as a Spanish dancer, the Condos Brothers tap-dancing on the radio
Sidney Lanfield directs this three-ring circus on a gigantic Arte Moderne set that bears no relation to reality, with frequent interruptions for a mediocre set of songs by Mack Gordon and Harry Revel. Everyone is dubbed, except for Miss Faye, who sells her songs wonderfully. It's a competent paycheck movie with a bunch of moving parts that nonetheless works in its mechanical fashion.
