About This Movie

So, 'Hip Zip Hooray' from 1933 is this quirky little comedy that plays around with themes of mistaken identity and unexpected ownership. The premise has Sheriff Bell stumbling into the world of a lingerie salon, which is pretty wild for the time. The pacing is brisk, typical of early sound films, and the characters have this charming, almost slapstick energy that keeps it engaging. The practical effects are minimal but effective in conveying the humor, especially with the costumes. The performances have that delightful theatrical quality, likely due to the era's influence. It’s definitely a unique piece of cinema history worth pondering over.

This film is quite rare and not often discussed among collectors, which adds to its charm. It has seen limited format releases, primarily on VHS and some obscure DVD editions, making it harder to find. Interest in the film is gradually growing, particularly among those who appreciate early 1930s comedies and the unique narrative twists they offer.
