Featured review
lesser talkie
Southerner Barry Holmes (Johnny Mack Brown) is a struggling composer living in Tin Pan Alley in NYC. His neighbor Ruth Morgan (Sally O'Neill) starts singing to his song while he's composing. They begin working together.
I really like the meet-cute. Other parts, I'm less enamored with. The old men are creeps. It would be better for a love triangle to have a hot evil manly producer type. He needs to be a real rival. This is mostly fine. It depends a lot on the song. The song is ok, but nothing special. If it could be special, the movie would be carried by that tail wind. As it stands, this is a lesser early talkie released in both silent and sound format. At least, I learned what was Tin Pan Alley.
