Spectacular air shots, swell acting by Spencer Tracy and corking gags. The story is a lot of rowdy nonsense, but who cares? It's entertainment! The theme smacks of "The Cock-Eyed World," with William Boyd and Tracy pulling the 'friendly enemy' act. Ann Dvorak is the girl. The picture belongs to Tracy. See it — ■ just for fun.
The Passionate Plumber Metro-Goldtvyn-Mayer
Can you imagine Buster Keaton as a gigolo? Of course, it's funny — it's supposed to be! Besides, there are Jimmy Durante and Polly Moran to add to the merriment. It's rough, rowdy slapstick, and Durante and Keaton have a grand time clowning. And the audience cheers. Irene Purcell is a fine comedienne. We want more DuranteKeaton comedies!
Play Girl
First National
This just missed being included among the six best screen sellers. It gives us Loretta Young in the best role of her career — a shop girl who marries a ne'er do well, Norman Foster, and then her troubles begin. You will agree that Loretta is a splendid actress in her emotional moments, and always charming. Laughs by Winnie Lightner and Guy Kibbe — of the broad variety.
Dancers in the Dark Paramount
It's the players, not the story that make this one worthwhile. Miriam Hopkins plays a taxi-dancer who sings torch songs and has a past. Put them all together, they spell "hot-cha." Jack Oakie tries to squelch her romance with William Collier, Jr.— and then proceeds to fall in love with her, himself. Oakie steals the whole show. George Raft — new — also scores heavily.
The Heart of New York Warners
Here you are, folks — step right into a rubberneck bus for a trip to the Lower East Side. If you like delicatessen humor you'll laugh along the way at Smith and Dale, as a pair of too-boisterous Hebraic comedians. George Sidney gives a fine, legitimate performance as a pathetic little inventor who finally clicks. Ruth Hall is pretty as Don Cook's love interest.
Disorderly Conduct Fox
Spencer Tracy joins the cops — and a robust, romantic bluecoat he makes! Then graft rears its ugly head — but fear not, Sally Eilers is on hand to throw temptation for a loss. Sally and Spencer turn out an enjoyable evening's entertainment, full of giggles and palpitations. And there's Dickie Moore for the kiddies. This one will make you a Tracy addict. What a personality!
