Review of The Cat and the Fiddle (1934) by James C — 13 Jun 2011
The best part of this Jerome Kern/Otto Harbach musical isn't the songs or the singing (Ramon Novarro was really no match for Jeanette MacDonald) but the slapstick charms of Charles Butterworth and the chemistry in the acting between Novarro & MacDonald.
Great support from the always reliable Frank Morgan who is trying to steal MacDonald away. Also worth seeing for the early technicolor sequence at the end.
