Sing Another Chorus

Universal cranked out loads of these six-and-seven reel wonders in the early 1940's. They benefited from great casts, really good songs, outstanding orchestrations, usually fast pace, and more than serviceable scripts. SING ANOTHER CHORUS is a typically cheery entry with great work by the largely unsung Johnny Downs, Jane Frazee, George Barbier, Iris Adrian, Mischa Auer and Walter Catlett. The Peters (Piotrowski) Bros. do some terrific dancing and sing the rhythm number "Rug Cuttin' Romeo". Iris Adrian (though very well dubbed) does "The Boogie Woogie Boogie Man". This song got plenty of mileage. It appeared again later in 1941 in a Will Osborn two-reeler, sung by the Brian Sisters; and again in 1944's MURDER IN THE BLUE ROOM. Unless you find a grey market DVD or an old United World Films 16mm print it is doubtful you'll get to see this little sparkler. But if it turns up on your horizon, check it out. There are many worse ways to spend 64 minutes.
