Gobs of Fun

About This Movie

Gobs of Fun, released in 1933, is this odd little comedy where two sailors, fresh off their ships, both find themselves vying for the affections of the same woman, Lulu. She’s quite the character, juggling multiple relationships like it’s a sport. The pacing is a bit uneven, typical of early 30s cinema, but there's a charm to its rough edges. You can really feel the atmosphere of the era with its practical effects and set designs. The performances have this lively energy, capturing that whimsical yet chaotic shore leave vibe. It’s distinctive for its blend of humor and the social commentary on relationships, something that resonates even today.

Gobs of Fun has remained a bit of a rarity among collectors, with few prints circulating, which adds to its mystique. It’s one of those films that often flies under the radar but has an interesting charm that attracts niche audiences. There have been limited releases over the years, often in obscure compilations, making it a fun find for anyone who enjoys the quirks of early talkies.
