Did you know Donald O'Connor was a child actor? If you didn't, go out and rent Sing You Sinners as soon as possible. He's so adorable! He sings, dances, gives typical pre-teen attitude, and rides a horse, all at the tender age of thirteen and in his third film. I wonder if he hated Mickey Rooney, whom he replaced in this movie; not only could he have played many of the parts Mickey did, but Donald played Huckleberry Finn in 1938 in a forgettable film, and the following year Mickey was recruited and immortalized in the role.
Did you know Fred MacMurray could sing? If you didn't, go out and rent Sing You Sinners. He plays the middle child in the house, the only one responsible enough to support the family even though all he wants to do is marry his girl, Ellen Drew. Fred, Donald, and Bing Crosby are Elizabeth Patterson's sons, but because Bing is a deadbeat and flighty, he doesn't contribute to the family income. In a completely atypical role for Bing, he's a scoundrel who parties, tries to steal his brother's girl, and hops from new idea to new idea. Did you know Bing Crosby could play a bad guy? If you didn't, well, you know what you should do.
Sing You Sinners, while not featuring the title song, is a very cute family flick. There are cute moments that lighten the darker situations, and plenty of exciting scenes that make you devoted to the family. Check it out; you'll want to adopt little Donald!
