Got Creak?
19 March 2014
Historical curiosity that uses the old "girl has to choose between love and career" plot. Done much better many times since but it's still worth checking out. The plot isn't really what you should see it for, anyway. You should see it for the musical and comedy numbers and what is basically a filmed Ziegfeld show. Is it dated? Sure it is. My grandmother wasn't even born when this came out and I'm hardly a kid. It's an early talkie so it creaks pretty badly. It's worth watching if you're interested in show business history and early musicals. Also worth noting it's a Pre-Code film with some partial nudity and swearing. Look out for a pre-Tarzan Johnny Weissmuller!
