Sorry, this movie sucks

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

. . . does NOT kill anyone OR lose any body parts! Such flicks are few and far between, as he had no qualms about pretending to shoot people or pretending to be maimed, unlike, say, Dustin Hoffman, who only carried a gun in LITTLE BIG MAN. It is amazing how much more military the film careers of propaganda movie stars such as Bogart or John Wayne are compared to those of actual war heroes such as the invisible rabbit HARVEY's friend Jimmy Stewart, who retired as an U.S. Air Force brigadier general after surviving dozens of bombing raids over Nazi Germany. Be that as it may, SWINGTIME IN THE MOVIES is one of the few innocuous Bogart films (even if his only contribution is appearing as himself in a Hollywood canteen for about two seconds!). The remaining cast of this short are pretty inconsequential to anyone born after 1990 (unless they are your great grandpops or something, and you're mentioned in their will). Pat O'Brien played President Reagan's coach in KNUTE ROCKNE, ALL-AMER!CAN, but Reagan has been deceased for quite some time, and he's just on an airport, NOT any folding money.

Musical comedy film short about a scatter-brained Hollywood director named Mr. Nitvitch (Fritz Feld) trying to make a film called "The Texas Tornado". But he can't pronounce "tornado", and it comes out the Texas "tomato". The dialogue milks this for all it's worth. The film's overall tone is lighthearted, with a touch of romance.Acting trends melodramatic, probably deliberately so. A highlight is the sequence at the "Superb Studio Cafe", where waitresses burst into song and dance, and then-current real-life actors make cameo appearances, with snippets about their careers, meant to be promos. Actors include: George Brent, Marie Wilson, Pat O'Brian, Humphrey Bogart, and John Garfield.A couple of melodic songs helps a lot: "Drifting On The Rio Grande" and "The Toast Of The Texas Frontier".Kinda silly and corny, the film nevertheless presents viewers with a time capsule of how movie making was viewed in the 1930s.

Academy-award nominated Short Subject. It's about director Nivitch (Fritz Feld) trying to shoot a Western but having nothing but trouble. He needs a girl with a Southern accent...and finds one working as a waitress in the studio restaurant. You can write the rest yourself.This sounds pretty terrible but it's amusing. It's shot in Technicolor and has some pretty good songs and dances--the dances especially are designed to take advantage of the color. The acting is just OK--Kathryn Kane and Jerry Colonna are the leads. There are also some cameos from Warner Brothers stars in the restaurant. Among them, George Brent, Humphrey Bogart, Pat O'Brien--all in color and smiling for the cameras!Nothing great but fun. Worth seeing.

The plot of Swingtime in the Movies is mildly amusing and of the appropriate length. The real highlight is seeing some of the great actors of that time in cameo appearances.The Humphrey Bogart bit is a must-see for all Bogey fans!
