Ann Sothern and Gene Raymond star in "Walking on Air," a 1936 comedy with music. Sothern and Raymond were thrown together a lot in the early to mid-thirties, and they're an attractive team. Raymond is a fledgling singer named Pete Quinlan whom Kit Bennett (Sothern) hires to play an annoying boyfriend. Her father (Henry Stephenson) refuses to allow her to be with the man she loves (Alan Curtis), so Sothern figures if she can come up with someone worse, her real boyfriend will start to look good.
Raymond gets to sing some pleasant songs, and the scenes where he insults the family are fun.
Raymond and Sothern sing "Let's Make a Wish" and sound wonderful together.
It's cute, it's predictable, but it has nice music and a good cast. Recommended.
