Review of The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones: Scandal of 1920 (1999) by Steve R — 05 Mar 2009
With a George Gershwin score and a surprisingly attractive looking brunette Anne Heche this episode has always been something of a guilty pleasure for me. A guilty goofy pleasure that is. Joyful and confidant in its wackiness, a true celebration of 20s Broadway musicals with Indy working as a stagehand while dating 3 girls simultaneously.
It takes a while to find its goofy feet though with an early jazz session coming across as possibly the cheesiest thing I've ever laid eyes upon, however once it hits Broadway and Gershwins improvisational composing to the tune of Indy's dating misfortune, this episode shines like no other.
With impressive musical numbers and dance routines galore, this episode is possibly one of the reasons why I love this show so much, from Verdun to a goofball musical comedy in one week, the absence of a real plot doesn't mean an absence of some crazily unique entertainment.
