Another Plug For 'Gold Diggers Of 1933'

Here is another cartoon by Warner Brothers that is plugging a song from its movie, "Gold Diggers Of 1933." This one doesn't have a tenth of the clever and zany scenes 'I've Got To Sing A Torch Song" did, and so it doesn't offer much in the way of entertainment except for the catchy title song. I have to admit I like the title song and it's the highlight of the short animated film.

What we get are birds of all kinds and a few people kissing in the park and singing, followed by a diving contest between several big birds, and then a swimming race, which has the best humor in the cartoon. Seeing the ostrich run through the water is pretty funny. Oveall, however, the cartoon is no big deal.
