WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe American Film Institute Catalog of Feature Films 1931-1940 lists Ruth Etting as one of the Goldwyn Girls, but she does not appear in this film. The AFI apparently confused her with Ruth Eddings, who does appear.
- PatzerIn the scene where Eddie Cantor sings "There's Nothing Too Good For My Baby" in blackface, the sign above the loud-speakers on the outside is misspelled: "GLORIFIYNG THE AMERICAN DOUGHNUT".
- Zitate
Eddie Simpson: Love is grand, simply grand!/ I'm in love, so you'll understand/ Why I rave. It's hard to behave!/ She's so cute, she's so sweet,/ I consider it such a treat/ To do nice things for the one I adore/ Baby wants to shop and then/ I take her down to the five-and-ten/ There's nothing to good for my baby!/ Baby likes a limousine,/ I show her one in a magazine./ There's nothing too good for my baby! Baby wants lots of love?/ Baby gets lots of love!/ Baby wants petting? Baby gets petting!/ That's what I've plenty of!/ Do I give? Yes siree!/ I'm no fool, I just gave her me!/ There's nothing to good for my baby!/ Baby wants to shop and then/ I take her down to the five-and-ten./ There's nothing to good for my baby!/ Rainy nights/ We both stay in,/ But I do card tricks and Gunga Din./ There's nothing to good for my baby!/ Baby wants lots of love?/ Baby gets lots of love!/ Baby wants petting? Baby gets petting!/ That's what I've plenty of!/ For a kid, she's simply wild/ I let her play with my sister's child./ There's nothing too good for my ba-ba-ba-baby!/ Baby wants to shop and then/ I take her down to the five-and-ten./ There's nothing to good for my baby!/ We go out, on pleasure bent,/ I let her dunk to her heart's content!/ There's nothing too good for my baby!/ Baby wants lots of ya-da-da!/ Baby gets lots of ya-da-da!/ Baby wants vo-deo-doh? Baby gets vo-deo-doh!/ That's what I've plenty of!/ She wants a pearl, she told me once/ So I ate oysters for months and months./ There's nothing to good for my ba-ba-ba-baby!

Music by Con Conrad
Lyrics by Ballard MacDonald and David Silverstein
Sung by Charlotte Greenwood
Danced by chorus
The film includes only three major song sequences, but they are all very well done, and coupled with Cantor's delivery they are infectious. Busby Berkeley opens the film with a musical number involving a gymnasium full of scantily clad Goldwyn Girls - supposedly employees of a surrealistic bakery where all the action takes place - in the aptly titled "Bend Down, Sister". The cast includes long and lanky Charlotte Greenwood, a regrettably forgotten character actress. She plays the physical fitness instructor who believes - thanks to the bogus spiritualists - that Cantor's character is her future husband. The chemistry between Greenwood and Cantor is priceless as she relentlessly pursues Eddie. Then there is George Raft as a hood who is out to get Eddie. Finally, there is Mr. Clark, the president of the bakery, who has confused Eddie for an efficiency expert. when he asks Eddie "How many girls do you think work here?", Eddie's answer is a very professional "About half". The whole thing is 77 minutes of enjoyable musical and comedic nonsense that I never get tired of and that could only have been possible pre-code.
Singin in the Rain it isn't, but like that film it is sure to put a smile on your face every time you watch it.
