Top of the Town (1937) offers a unique glimpse into the musical landscape of pre-war America, set against the vibrant backdrop of Manhattan's nightlife. The film has this infectious energy, especially when it shifts gears from a dull audience to a full-on swingin' party. The choreography and musical numbers, like 'Blame It on the Rhumba,' really capture the spirit of the era, balanced with a certain charm that doesn’t take itself too seriously. It's not just about the music; it's also about the atmosphere created by that stunning 100-story skyscraper setting. The performances have this delightful spontaneity, making it a really neat piece of cinematic history.
Top of the Town has seen limited releases over the years and is a bit of a rarity in collector circles, often overshadowed by larger musical hits from the same era. Its scarcity on physical formats like VHS or DVD adds to its allure, making it a sought-after item for those interested in vintage musicals. The film's unique setting and lively musical numbers offer a fascinating look at the early days of American cinema, appealing to collectors who appreciate both its charm and historical context.
