Sing and Like It

About This Movie

So, 'Sing and Like It' is this quirky little comedy from 1934 that really plays into that classic gangster meets showbiz vibe. The plot’s a bit silly, sure—a bank robber gets captivated by a bank clerk’s singing voice and decides to put her in a Broadway show. But what’s interesting is how it contrasts the gritty underworld with the glitz of the stage. The pacing has an upbeat rhythm, like a Broadway number itself, making it feel lively despite its age. Performances are charming, capturing that early '30s style of comedic delivery. It’s not groundbreaking, but there’s an undeniable charm and a playful atmosphere that makes it distinctive, perfect for those who appreciate the offbeat gems from the era.

'Sing and Like It' is one of those films that doesn't come up often in discussions, but it has its own niche among collectors. It was released in a time when musicals were evolving, and its scarcity on physical formats adds to its allure. You’ll find it occasionally in collections focused on early sound films or obscure comedies, but it’s not easy to track down. There’s a certain charm in those early musical numbers that collectors seem to appreciate, though it’s not the flashiest of titles.
