This installment of the Fleischer Brothers Screen Song series stars the voice of Irène Bordoni. Like the other films in the series, you see the singing star herself in a live shot--and then the cartoon follows. However, in a surprising twist, after you see a lot of cartoon silliness, it's Bordoni herself who appears in the night club to sing her tune! Then, as she sings through the song again, the old bouncing ball (very popular with the Fleischers) appears and the audience is expected to sing along with her. I wonder if audiences actually did this back in the day... Following this, the cartoon appears again and once again the words to the song appear. Overall, this is a well-made film that features a brief glimpse of Betty Boop as the emcee. However, it's also incredibly old fashioned and dated--as is the tune. My guess is that this would be very tough going for folks today--especially as there aren't all that many laughs--especially after Bordoni begins her song.
