Rosetta Duncan and Vivian Duncan in It's a Great Life (1929)

Trivia

It's a Great Life

Edit
All the singing by Rosetta Duncan, Vivian Duncan, and Lawrence Gray is live in this production. Nothing is pre-recorded.
Trade paper ads announced this film under the title of "Cotton and Silk."
Future star Ann Dvorak is easily spotted among the chorus dancers and is the featured dancer on the left in the 'Hoosier Hop" number.
After The Duncan Sisters proved unavailable for The Broadway Melody (1929), they were rushed into this film to cash in on the craze for musicals.
Two sequences, filmed in 2-strip Technicolor, totaling 1391 feet, occur in reels #2 (The Faulty Fashion Show) #10 (The Hoosier Hop and I'm Sailing on a Sunbeam).
