I was pleased that TCM had this on the other morning. Bernice Claire and Lawrence Gray sang beautifully. The old man got off a few great one liners, but the singers and especially the lyrics stole the show. Such beautiful sentiments. This show had the feel and atmosphere of one of my favorite movies, "Sally", so I looked it up in my 4/03 Now Playing and "Sally" was directed by John Fracis Dillon too. If they show this again, and they inevitably probably will, I will tape it to keep. Dillon was a master at these early 30s musicals. I've kept "Sally". TCM is to be thanked for putting this on. It is much appreciated. I never miss any pre-7/34 precode movies they show and they are the main reason that TCM is the greatest station showing.
