That Certain Trio is a delightful little musical short from 1931 that showcases the talents of Patrick Waddington, William Walker, and Peggy Cochrane. The atmosphere is light and breezy, with a playful charm that feels quite distinct for its time. The pacing is brisk, typical for short films of the era, allowing just enough time for the trio to perform their numbers without overstaying their welcome. There's a palpable energy in their performances, and while not groundbreaking, the practical effects used in the musical numbers add a nice touch. It’s a window into the early 30s musical scene that collectors often appreciate for its simplicity and the authentic sense of joy it conveys.
This short is relatively scarce, with few surviving prints, which certainly piques collector interest. Various formats exist, but many are hard to track down, adding to its allure among enthusiasts. Its historical context as a piece of early 30s music films gives it a place of curiosity, especially for those who appreciate the period’s entertainment style.
