And break dancers of modern age thought they were the first with their moves. Brilliantly entertaining dance routine. Love these old black and white movies.
Msnobody I just don’t understand why people think the people saying downs or criticism wonder where all the film’s that are loved today come from! These older films maybe are the most important ,Starters all people, writers, producers actors make up , clothes scenes and so on I MEAN ALL . How hard they worked each @everyone of them ! And they HAD to or go hungry .. no stand ins or that blank screen to do tricks to the eyes of their watchers .Please try to understand how much they worked and struggled to do it all just for us to entertain and make us happy no matter how clever the viewer was and still now … THANKYOU ALL SO VERY MUCH FOR FINDING THEM ALL @SHARING . FOR JUST US WHOM PROBABLY COULDNT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A COMPUTER OR ALL OF THE OTHER THINGS WE HAVE TODAY I GET SO UPSET AT SO COMMENTS ,PLEASE FORGIVE ME .
I believe you are very kind and understanding, but you must also weigh this against hundreds of other comedy films put out that same year. This might've been produced by a junior high drama club.
I read about this movie in "The Art & Inventions of Max Fleischer: American Animation Pioneer". The animated segment at the end was produced by Dave Fleischer, Max's brother, after they were fired from their own studio. To quote the aforementioned book, on page 258: "Dave was an associate producer of the minute-long animation sequence for another Republic "B" movie, 'That's My Baby'. While the sequence was skillfully handled, Republic made no further commitments to producing animation, with the exception of 'It's A Grand Old Nag' (1947) from Warner's veteran, Bob Clampett."
Did anyone else love that dog act around fifteen minutes into the film or was it just me? That dog was great! Minor Watson was marvelous as the grumpy father. And Ellen Drew is one of my favorite actresses to watch as she is so appealing. She's also wonderful in the Preston Sturges film Christmas in July. As a side note, Ellen Drew was discovered by an actor known for his grumpy persona, William Demarest.
1:03- If you think you've heard that music cue before, you have! George Burns chose that as the first "theme" for the first four filmed episodes of "THE GEORGE BURNS AND GRACIE ALLEN SHOW" in October 1952 (after deciding he didn't want to pay for the rights to use their "traditional" theme, "Love Nest", on film). That music was part of the "Mutel" production music library, which the series used for several years.
As bad as most of this movie is, there are some moments that are real jewels; at 19:44 Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham as the dancing butler, 28:38 Lita Baron as Isabelita the singer, and most of all the incredible Boogie-Woogie piano player (Gene Rodgers) at 53:00. And then there's the short animation at the end by Dave Fleischer.

Well, Does this film stand out in 2022? I’m surprised it’s allowed on TH-cam however, it demonstrates both personal talent from performers. I thought break dancing was a modern invention yet it’s in this film preformed by a black man. When this film was made, such performances just weren’t acceptable for the era (as racist as it was). Interesting enough was the music written and arranged by Sir Jay Chernis. The song “Crying” was written by him and was less known until it was re-recorded by Ella Fitzgerald and became a hit during World War 2.
I'm so sorry is it for film critics , I'm new at this and I don't understand what it means I thought it was comments on the film I was watching got it wrong then I'll never be able to judge all the film at that time .I'll be quiet thanks for information bye
You know~ I really wanted to like this but it's without peer as the silliest movie I've ever sat through. Foolish waste of film. If this was vaudeville, thank goodness it's dead!
Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham (April 18, 1904 - December 13, 1981) was an American entertainer.Though best known as a comedian, Markham was also a singer, dancer, and actor. His nickname came from a stage routine, in which he declared himself to be "Sweet Poppa Pigmeat". He was sometimes credited in films as Pigmeat "Alamo" Markham. He created the "Here Come Da Judge" routine. The cat was a great entertainer. Learn your Black entertainer history, it's rich with wonderful people.
And break dancers of modern age thought they were the first with their moves. Brilliantly entertaining dance routine. Love these old black and white movies.
This movie has a big collection of musicians playing themselves. Fun, lighthearted...Thanks!
Nice uplifting movie. Thanks.
11:49 " I haven't laughed or smiled for 20 years! "
Doctor: An ACUTE case of melancholia! LOL
I love the wardrobe routine. It's awesome what you can do with a few yards of cloth.
Leonid Kinsk(e)y always makes me laugh, but his shimmy at 30:47-30:50 was so unexpected, I nearly fell out of my chair. What a riot!

Very entertaining and therapeutic.
So silly and the lack of plot is filled in by the vaudeville acts! I love the dog act and the boogie woogie piano player is amazing!
Such a cute movie, especially the end.
The ending made it all worthwhile! Very cute!

Yes ..liked how he put his foot behind the dog and said this is what he would look like had he jumped my leg.... lol l
Thanks for sharing this delightful fluffy movie!
A great feel good, screwball, movie. Thanks for sharing
GENE RODGERS WAS A Marvelous Pianist!!
Fantastic pianist...Gene Rodgers.

Quite an interesting tidbit!

The dancing butler was superb. Break dances way before Break Dancin' showed it's spin.
🎶The piano player was extraordinary🤗sounded to me like Jerryleelewis copied this gifted man(?)
"I'm waiting for vaudaville to come back." ROTFL
love the dog tricks ,lol
Plot? We don't need a plot!
Some good talent i that silly flick. Thanks.
Silly, but I loved the old entertainment. Made me smile.
Patricia Ezell o
Not silly at all!
The comedic fight was excellent talent!
I recgonized Carmen Miranda...even without the head dress....some really funny bits in this one...Glad you posted it.. :)
Nice try, however, it wasn't Carmen Miranda, it was Lita Baron, ex wife of Rory Calhoun, mother of three of his daughters

Not a bad little Movie.
Basically a Distraction letting you zone out for a while.

The era was not racist, that's just you being trendy. Critical Race Theory is poison.
no thumbs up or down. Some good stuff some not so good. liked the story line a lot though
Is that ahem, Lady Gaga at 24:27?
I love this old man. I am the old man, only black and female. Stop the nonsense.
Felt like a 10 minute story.
entertainment from wacko charming to superb not much romance
cartooning
David Fleischers last film animation effort.
I'm so sorry is it for film critics , I'm new at this and I don't understand what it means I thought it was comments on the film I was watching got it wrong then I'll never be able to judge all the film at that time .I'll be quiet thanks for information bye
Who is pianist at 53? Gotta be famous
Kinda tells you a little about creation doesn't it?

Overloaded by slapstick. Less is more.
Nice movie, but the mother character was horrendously annoying.
a horrible charming movie
I didn't laugh at any of this corn, either.
👍
Thank ya for FF.
At the end l laughed more than l have laughed for years. Pure joy! Sorry for anyone who missed out. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THS SURREAL FILM !
Made me sick
Excellent vaudeville, very mediocre movie.
Irrational stupid movie
Stupid film. Nothing going fr it. Yawned all the way thru ! Wasnt even funny.
Stop the movie as soon as she called the African American (Pigmee).
Pigmeat (not Pigmee) Markham
Dewey "Pigmeat" Markham (April 18, 1904 - December 13, 1981) was an American entertainer.Though best known as a comedian, Markham was also a singer, dancer, and actor. His nickname came from a stage routine, in which he declared himself to be "Sweet Poppa Pigmeat". He was sometimes credited in films as Pigmeat "Alamo" Markham. He created the "Here Come Da Judge" routine. The cat was a great entertainer. Learn your Black entertainer history, it's rich with wonderful people.
You have Critical Race Theory on the brain. Hope you get over it.
The beginning and the treatment of women is disgusting.
Every three minutes I searched HARD and found
some miniscule thing that OFFENDED ME
This is so boring 11 minutes in and not one laugh.
