Trivia
The producers wanted this film to be the first Dutch talkie, but were beaten to the punch by Willem van Oranje (1934), which was released slightly more than a month earlier.

A little gem

Yes, this sure is a little pre-war Dutch gem. I always liked the Astaire/Rogers musicals, and watched this Dutch musical with quite a bit of anticipation. Could it be anywhere near as good as the Astaire/Rogers classics? Well... yes! Taking into account the budget, which must have been 1/1000th of the budget on an American film, De Jantjes came out very well indeed. Good story line, nice camera work, OK acting (although it always surprises me how 'old' Dutch from the 30s sounds) and a couple of classic songs. I didn't even know some of the songs in the movie were from that era. Thought they were much younger. A Chance to see Heintje David play and sing shouldn't be missed either. You should go see this movie when you get the chance!
