SING AND LIKE IT (1934) ¢ ¢
D: William A. Seiter
Zasu Pitts, Edward Everett Horton, Nat Pendleton,
Pert Kelton, John Qualen, Ned Sparks
When a gangster overhears Zasu Pitts sing a heartfelt but tone-deaf rendition of the sentimental tune "Your Mother", he's overcome with emotion and decides to make her a star on Broadway. Acting and dialogue as stilted and stiff as this can't be an accident, especially in a comedy, which makes you wonder: Is this a bad movie, or a spoof of a bad movie, or just a bad spoof? It's kind of hard to say, but Pitts and Horton are good in it, and it's got a few laughs.
