Play! Girls

About This Movie

Ah, 'Play! Girls' from 1937 - what a curious little musical short. It’s got that charmingly odd vibe typical of the Educational Films Corporation of America. The pacing is brisk, and you can’t help but be drawn into its lighthearted skits and catchy tunes. The performances have a certain infectious enthusiasm, and you can really feel the era’s spirit in the bright, playful choreography. It's distinctive in its odd blend of education and entertainment, quite unlike typical musicals of its time. The practical effects, while simple, add a nice touch - they remind you of a more innocent filmmaking style. It’s a glimpse into a different time, one that collectors often appreciate for its uniqueness.

'Play! Girls' is quite scarce in terms of physical media, often tucked away in obscure collections. Its history is a little murky since the director remains unknown, which adds to its allure. For collectors, this film represents a fascinating slice of 1930s culture, and the oddity of its production company only heightens its interest. Finding a good print can be a challenge, but well worth the effort for those intrigued by the era’s lesser-known works.
