Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round
About this film
“A whole amusement park” “Great film from the ‘30s” (IMDB reviews quotes). Comedy, romance, drama, crime drama; murder mystery, plus major musical production numbers and all this takes place on a single transatlantic ocean liner crossing. (I guess they ran out time for an iceberg) Extra-large cast of ‘30s movie and radio stalwarts. Jack Benny appears in a straight dramatic role. Good production values. Definitely entertaining, but even if it weren’t it would be worth viewing just to see how much can be crammed into a 90-minute movie. IMDB rating 6.4. Directed by Benjamin Stoloff. Released in 1934. Complete print. AKA “Keep ’em Laughing” TRIVIA: The first time “rock’n’roll” appeared in a movie song title or lyrics.
