As the Crows Fly is an interesting 1933 comedy that kicks off the Moran and Mack series from Educational Pictures. The film has this lighthearted tone, a bit of a vaudevillian vibe you'd expect from the era. The pacing is brisk, keeping the antics of the duo engaging throughout, though there are moments where it feels a bit stretched. The performances of Moran and Mack really shine, showcasing their comedic chemistry. You can see the practical effects reflecting the period's charm, adding a layer of authenticity to the gags. It stands out for its blend of slapstick humor and musical interludes, capturing the essence of early 30s comedy quite well.
This title is part of a lesser-known series, making it a bit of a hidden gem in educational cinema. The availability can be quite scarce, with few prints floating around, so collectors often keep an eye out for this one. Its historical context as a starting point for the Moran and Mack duo adds to its allure among enthusiasts of early sound films.
