Heads We Go

About This Movie

Heads We Go is this quirky little comedy from 1933 that plays with the idea of identity and fame. The plot spins around a model who, upon inheriting a fortune, decides to step into the shoes of a movie star, leading to a mix of hilarity and misunderstandings. It's got that charming pre-code feel, and you can really see the era's style in the musical numbers. The pacing feels a bit off at times, but it adds to that delightful, chaotic energy. The performances have a spirited quality, with our lead navigating both comedy and mystery in a way that feels refreshingly unique for its time. It's a film that captures a moment in cinematic history, layered and rich, yet not often discussed.

Heads We Go is quite the curiosity and not the easiest find, often overshadowed by more prominent films from the era. There have been a few releases over the years, but nothing substantial in terms of restoration or preservation, which adds to its mystique. Collectors seem to have a growing interest in it, especially those who appreciate the quirks of early sound films and the transition in comedy styles of the early 30s.
