    I fell in love

    I fell in love with Eddie Cantor. He was so good, NowI want to watch all of his movies. I also enjoyed seeing life in that time period. It was a different world.

    Remake of a better film

    Funny that nobody mentions that "Fourty Little Mothers" is a remake of Hugo Haas' and Jan Alfréd Holmans's 1937 Czech film "Devcata, nedejte se!", which is, in its turn, a remake of (or it's highly inspired by) 1936 French film "Le Mioche", directed by Léonid Moguy. I am familiar just with "Devcata", and, in my opinion, this is a far more brilliant and deeply moving movie. Maybe it can be found on commercial circuits, I don't know: in a very famous online platform, "Devcata, nedejte se!" can be found and watched, for free. But only in Czech, and without captions. This is not a particular handicap: as in most good works of cinematic art you will be able to catch (almost) all of its meaning even if you don't know the language.

    Worth a watch.

    Eddie Cantor's facial expressions make the movie. It starts slow and then draws you in. The cast is well done from the obnoxious teenage girls to the stereotype school matrons.

    Eddie Cantor could act!

    In most of his roles, Eddie Cantor mostly did his stage performance, clapping his hands and rolling his eyes, but in "Forty Little Mothers," he had a role completely out of character.

    And he was great! I tuned in to Turner Classic Movies (July, 2010) expecting a bit of fluff, a chance to rest from my Internet labors, and was I happily surprised.

    Besides Cantor, one of my favorite screen females, Bonita Granville, was there, as were many talented if not entirely well-known actors and actresses.

    There was some good writing, even if the story presentation itself was a bit uneven.

    All in all, "Forty Little Mothers" is a sweet, well-done movie that I highly recommend.

    40 Girls and a Baby

    This movie is one of the most tenderhearted that I have seen in a long time. I was surprised by how touching some of the scenes were. If you can convince your kids to watch a b&w movie, it is an excellent family movie. There were even a few places in the movie that made me almost cry. Briefly, it is the story of an out-of-work teacher who finds an abandoned baby after saving a young woman from suicide. How he deals with his growing attachment to the baby, and his new job, makes for a wonderfully warm movie. Eddie Cantor was an excellent choice for the lead part, although he only sings one song in the movie. Also, the baby in this movie really steals the show.
