Foolish Hearts from 1935 is a curious little gem in the RKO shorts catalog. It's got that light-hearted, breezy comedy vibe typical of the era, and you can really feel the studio's attempt to showcase emerging talent alongside seasoned character actors. The pacing’s a bit uneven, as you might expect from a film that seems like an audition vehicle, but the charm lies in the performances and the playful, if simplistic, narrative. It's sort of a glimpse into the studio's process of scouting for stars, which gives it this distinct flavor that some might find endearing.
Foolish Hearts is part of the RKO short film collection, which makes it somewhat niche and not overly common in circulation. While not a marquee title, it has an interesting appeal for collectors interested in the studio's history and the early careers of its featured performers. Copies might be scarce, especially in good condition, but those who appreciate early Hollywood shorts will find it a curious watch.
