Musical Film Revues

About This Movie

Musical Film Revues from 1933 is an interesting blend of comedy and music, showcasing a variety of acts that brings a certain charm of its era. The pacing is lively, with quick transitions between performances that keep the viewer engaged. You’ve got the Albert Sandler Quartet and the Nile Players adding that jazzy feel, while Betty Astell brings a nice vocal contrast. The practical effects are minimal but serve the performances well, creating an inviting atmosphere. Each act, like Stanelli and Edgar, offers something different, making the whole film feel like an eclectic showcase of talent rather than a single narrative. It's a great snapshot of the early '30s entertainment scene, reflecting the cultural shift and diversity in performance art.

This film is quite rare, especially in good condition given its age. It was originally released on various formats, but VHS copies are particularly sought after by collectors. There's a niche interest in the variety show format of the early 30s, and this film captures that essence well, making it a curious piece for those studying the era's entertainment history.
