Footlights And Fools: Review

starstarstarstar
Dim musical starring the barely talented Moore as a sweet and innocent performer sent to Paris by an ambitious Broadway producer to attain a "French" image. He brings her back as the hot and famous musical comedy star "Fifi D'Auray." She soon finds herself pursued by a young hoodlum, Hackett, and a wealthy admirer, March, both of whom have fallen in love with her. She opts for Hackett, but it is only a matter of time before she discovers his true nature after he admits to participating in a robbery of March's firm. In the end Moore is left alone, having lost both men. Some of the dance numbers were filmed in the old two-color Technicolor process that rendered the flesh-tones fairly red. Moore, who had been a reigning silent film star, tried desperately to establish herself in talkies with this one, but her thin, unconvincing voice annoyed rather than endeared viewers. The musical numbers included: "If I Can't Have You," "You Can't Believe My Naughty Eyes," "Ophelia Will Fool You," "Pilly Pom Pom Plee" (Alfred Bryan and George W. Meyer). leave a comment
