Got my copy and watched last night! Talk about entertainment! Minstrel show opening number then Jack Benny then Cliff Edwards and then Joan Crawford singing a hot number and dancing up a storm. And that is in the first 10 minutes. Shortly after that Edwards is back with a uke production number with a bevy of tap dancing girls with ukes! No plot. Just act after act after act.
This was an MGM film, not a Warner Brothers Vitaphone.
The print is not restored but more than serviceable for its age. The sound does get distorted at times. On my standard screen ratio 27 inch TV the film was cropped a bit too much and person on left is sometimes cut off.
But I'm pretty sure this has not been on TV and I really enjoyed it. And it runs nearly TWO hours!
