Wow. Musical / Comedy / Romance / Science Fiction. All at once.
To begin with, this seems like a transfer from a pretty good VHS tape. There are so many noise artifacts in the image I’m not sure if the dancers are fully naked or wearing outfits that are mostly tight.
The acting is similarly fuzzy. As is the story. This is set in the Far Distant Future Year of 1980! People have their marriages approved by the government, but our hero appeals the ruling. While waiting, he, his friend, and a man from 50 years ago become the first to fly to Mars.
There’s some excellent miniature and special effects work, though, some of which is almost as good as ❝Metropolis.❞
There’s a fun connection with ❝The She-Monster.❞ The ‘Scandinavian’ butler in that film is the ‘Comedic Lead’ in this film.
If you would like to see a film, this is one!

It’s not often you have a bedroom farce / musical / romantic / disaster film these days. Given this came out in 1930, it’s probable that the idea was to cram as much sound into the thing as possible, so it ended up being ALL TALKING! ALL SINGING! ALL KABOOMING! as a direct result.
Speaking of 1930, it was a full seven years prior to the disaster in Manchester Township, New Jersey involving the Hindenburg (Luftschiff Zeppelin #129), so a disaster involving a dirigible was not yet seen as being in poor taste.
Yes, that’s the disaster.
Look, this movie is almost a century old, so don’t come complaining to me about ‘spoilers!’
The acting is a old-fashioned; the pacing slow; the dialogue super-sexist; and the hetero-normative, escalator style relationships are hardly au courant; but it’s a fun ride. There’s also some fun costumes that Bob Mackie would have loved.
Surprisingly good!

Witness the birth of the newspaper drama in Lewis Milestone’s 1931 classic The Front Page. This sharp, fast-paced comedy redefined journalism films and set the tone for decades of Hollywood wit. Starring Pat O’Brien and Adolphe Menjou.

Week-End Marriage (AKA Working Wives) a fine 1932 pre-code film combines comedy and romantic melodrama. Loretta Young has to choose between two men. Takes career vs marriage problems for women seriously. A film that enrages some modern viewers.

In Road To Paradise (1930) Loretta Young is delightful playing dual roles as a wealthy socialite and an orphan with a paranormal ability. Cheerfully pre-code with an indifference to the law. It's OK for pretty girls to break the law. Good fun.

One Night at Susie’s is an OK 1930 pre-code crime/romantic melodrama. Very pre-code. The theatre world is depicted in all its sleazy reality. The plot has more holes than a hoodlum who’s just been ventilated by a machine gun.

The Painted Veil, a 1934 Greta Garbo romantic melodrama. Based on a Somerset Maugham story. The introduction of the Production Code earlier in 1934 results in characters whose behaviours make no sense but it looks good and Garbo is terrific.

The Crowd Roars (1932), a Howard Hawks race-car melodrama. Also deals with the uneasy dynamics that develop when a woman enters this male world. Very Hawksian. Grown-up action movie with some depth. James Cagney and Joan Blondell are terrific.

The Story of Temple Drake (1933), one of the most notorious of all Hollywood pre-code movies. Temple Drake likes playing dangerous games with men. Stylistically bizarre southern gothic melodrama, very outrageous and deliberately provocative.

42nd Street (1933), arguably the greatest musical of them all. Hardboiled, sexy, sassy, snappy plus those Busby Berkeley production numbers. It's like a delicious cocktail but with enough hard liquor in it to give it a real kick. Movie magic.

The Last Flight (1931) is a fascinating nicely unpredictable pre-code exercise in post-war angst. Perhaps the most successful attempt at existentialism on film. Two flyers return from the war, now they're going nowhere and they’re in a hurry.

Mandalay (1934) belongs to a sub-genre I dearly love, the pre-code tropical melodrama. With Kay Francis as a high-class hooker and sexual adventuress. She wears fabulous slinky 30s dresses. She’s at the top of her game here. Great movie.

Trader Horn (1931) was the first major movie shot on location in Africa. It cost a fortune but was a major hit. It’s a jungle girl adventure. Nina is a blonde gorgeous sexy European girl brought up in the jungle. Visually spectacular but slow.
