Louisa E More like Whoopsie to me. The plot was ok, but I couldn't get past the racism. The acting was terrible; some of the worst I've seen. I know it's a comedy but jeesh! The songs were cute but maybe a little long. The saving grace of this movie is the beautiful Busby Berkley dance sequences. Great ideas and exciting camera angles for optimal effect. It got a little boring with the hats, but there were so many different ones that were so much fun to watch. Get rid of the rest of the movie, and just let me enjoy the dances. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/09/23 Full Review Audience Member This made a movie star of Eddie Cantor, already one of the leading stars on Broadway and musical comedies. It also launched the Hollywood career of Busby Berkeley and was Alfred Newman's first composing job in Hollywood. It's a musical where a white woman falls for a Native American man and will do anything she can to make it work. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member The best musical comedy movie ever made! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Eddie Cantor made an auspicious feature film debut (he sings "My Baby Just Cares for Me" and "Makin' Whoopee") in this glittery Samuel Goldwyn production, with production numbers staged by Busby Berkeley. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member An entertaining, obviously dated film but the film which gave us the song Making Whoopee which is in my mind a standard classic of the 30's. Based on the Broadway musical Whoopee itself based on the play The Nervous Wreck. Eddie Cantor was a comedic star on broadway and this helped his transition to film. This is definitely an early SCREWBALL comedy. The comedy is actually quite good and it's the musical numbers which are most dated and drag the film down for modern audiences I think. Worth a viewing for film buffs - early colour film, fairly close recreation of the stage version, good early comedy.
