It is a fascinating contract specifically identifying a “silly symphonies” type of sequence featuring color and live action/animation which the contract states would be “novel”.

Durante gets his pick of numbers, including a romantic duet with Moran and a lengthy piece on reincarnation that only serves to give us nightmare fuel in that we see a horse puppet made up to look like Durante.A lot of other reviews of this film prefer to focus on the film’s production, as it really is just a series of scenes shot with and by random people and eventually assembled and released in hope of turning a dime on the disaster. Was this review helpful to you? The cartoon, in vibrant three-strip Technicolor (which was just now coming into fashion), plays to the titular song by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed– yes, the geniuses behind “Singin’ in the Rain.”The short itself is a glimpse into pure madness, though, a candy-coated version of The fight is pretty brutal, with the pastries beaten by the old Trojan Horse trick but with a chocolate dove instead of a lumbering horse. One of my favorite movies!! Use the HTML below. One of the more significant portions has Schnarzan’s rival trying to use a wealthy, if stupid, family of oil barons to purchase the lions.
Hollywood Party was made by MGM. Charles Butterworth ends up violently failing at seducing Lupe Velez in the interlude, while Polly Moran is accosted by George Givot. ); a swimming lesson skit with Velez, her then hubby Johnny Weissmuller and Jackie Cooper, “Black Diamond” with Joan Crawford as a Sadie Thompson-ish lady of the evening in blackface (a prelude to her infamous “Two Faced Woman” number from Torch Song?)
Certificate: Passed Comedy It’s one of many things that’s making going through and reading all your reviews so compelling.I still have The Wet Parade from one of the Forbidden Hollywood collections sitting unwatched, and that’s a DRAMA starring Durante! During the party he takes turns mocking and hitting Durante (which is perfectly acceptable), but then introduces a short cartoon called “The Hot Chocolate Soldiers”. It’s miles ahead of anything that did get in the film!Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email. That book has an entire chapter on the making of this film and how it was such a bizarre fiasco.I am definitely picking up that book next time I have a gift card.

I wouldn’t even use this as a negative against L & H since they really don’t have much screen time here.If you want a fascinating read about this film, check out Henry Jenkins’ What Made Pistachio Nuts.

Hollywood Party is a musical film starring Jimmy Durante and was originally released to theaters on June 1, 1934 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. You will see The Three Stooges (Larry, Moe and Curly) and wonder where you missed Stan and Ollie. A rescue team mistakes one of them for the missing Baron, and returns them to the US, where they're greeted as heroes.
