Review of Hallelujah, I'm a Bum (1933) by Darryl C — 12 Jan 2009

Al jolson disowned his work in this film and, as a result, a lot of people like to say it's a bomb. it isn't. it's a risk taking film musical that needed a lighter touch than lewis milestone's.

and, this may be the dancer in me, but it needed a dance number or two. it's got a great cast supporting jolson and a fun theme song. plus richard rodgers makes a cameo appearance.
