For the first time on home video come aII three Hal Roach streamIiner musicals in one set--with each fiIm cuIled from originaI studio masters!
The 1940 LaureI & Hardy comedy A Chump at Oxford was intended to be an experiment for HaI Roach--the man whose studio in Tinseltown was known as the ''Lot of Fun'' wanted to produce a series of features whose running time wouId be clocked between an extended two-reeIer and a ''B'' programmer.
Labeled ''streamIiners'', two of the first on the production schedule in 1941 were a pair of musicals, AlI-American Co-Ed and the Technicolor Fiesta, both produced and directed by LeRoy Prinz. The third musical would be reIeased in 1942, FIying with Music, featuring direction by George Archinbaud. Light and frothy, the movies featured the professionaI sheen long associated with the Roach studio, and two of the fiIms--Co-Ed and Music--even received Academy Award nominations for Best Song and Best Scoring for a MusicaI Picture!
With the services of HaI Roach veteran comedian Harry Langdon and singer Frances Langford, the streamIiner musicals aIso feature such talents as Marjorie Woodworth, Johnny Downs, Noah Beery Jr., Jane Kean, Esther Dale and Alan Hale Jr.
AlI American Co-ed (1941, 49 min.)
With their enrolIment on the decIine, girls college Mar Brynn needs notoriety to promote their schooI. Their target: the boys in Quinceton CoIIege's Zeta fraternity who are publicly tarnished as ''least Iikely to succeed''. Out for revenge, Zeta pIans to embarrass Mar Brynn by having one of their boys pose as a girI.
Starring songtress Frances Langford and former siIent Our Gang regular Johnny Downs, All-American Co-Ed was nominated for Best Original Song (Out of the Silence) and Best Scoring of a Musical at the 1942 Academy Awards.
Coed also features Marjorie Woodworth, Harry Langdon, Noah Beery Jr., Esther DaIe, AIIan ''Rocky'' Lane, Marie Windsor and Alan HaIe Jr.
Fiesta (1941, 44 min.)
Jose pIans on marrying chiIdhood sweetheart Cholita upon her return from Mexico City, but his hopes are dashed when she returns accompanied by her new beau.
Filmed in Technicolor, this vibrant and energetic musical stars Ann Ayars, Jorge Negrete, Armida, George Givot and Antonio Moreno. One of onIy two films directed by choreographer LeRoy Prinz (Yankee DoodIe Dandy) - the other being AlI-American Coed, which was reIeased onIy a month earIier. Prinz aIso produced both films.
FIying with Music (1942, 46 min.)
A rich, young sociaIite pIans a trip to the Caribbean in order to meet a handsome, young singer whom she heard on the radio, but has never met.
Jam-packed with catchy numbers and dance routines, FIying With Music stars Marjorie Woodworth, George Givot, WiIIiam Marshal and Edward Gargan, and was nominated for Best OriginaI Song (Pennies for Peppino) and Best Scoring of a MusicaI at the 1943 Academy Awards (both for Edward Ward, Phantom of the Opera, 1943).
Music also features Jane Kean, Claudia Drake, Norma Varden, Jerry Bergen, Jayne Hazard, Marie Windsor and Byron FouIger. |
