Audience Member Very loose amalgamation of shorts with gags, notable for the variety of stars, including Butterworth & Velez. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An MGM hodgepodge with no good songs; the highlights are a brief comedy scene between Laurel & Hardy and Lupe Velez, and a Technicolor Disney cartoon. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member There's no plot whatsoever, it's basically a time capsule of the 30's stars of the time that make it interesting. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
