Chasing Rainbows

The film follows a road-show troupe from a top Broadway show as they travel cross-country. It highlights not only the vibrant on-stage performances but also the complexities of life backstage, where joy, sorrow, and romance converge. The contrasting elements of the colorful costumes and spectacular dancing ensembles against the drabness of backstage life create a distinctive narrative experience.

Chasing Rainbows features a cast that includes Bessie Love, Charles King, and Jack Benny. Their performances contribute to the film's exploration of both the theatrical and personal dramas that unfold within a touring company. The mixture of musical numbers with dramatic storytelling makes this film a unique artifact of its era, especially in the context of pre-code cinema.
