The Only Girl

About This Movie

So, 'The Only Girl' is this quirky little gem from 1933 that blends comedy and music in a rather charming way. You’ve got this dashing marquis who takes a tumble over a lost garter, and the ensuing delirium leads him to a hairdresser who happens to be the garter’s owner. The pacing feels light and playful, and the atmosphere is filled with a delightful absurdity that many films of the era tried to capture. What stands out is how it plays with class dynamics, mixing the high society of the marquis with the everyday life of a hairdresser. Performances are spirited, and there's an endearing innocence to the entire narrative, making it a curious watch from the pre-Code era.

'The Only Girl' is quite scarce, often overlooked in discussions about early sound films. It has seen limited releases on home video, making it a fascinating find for collectors who appreciate pre-Code cinema. The film's unique blend of comedy and musical elements, along with its charming narrative, adds to its allure, especially for those interested in the evolution of film during this era.
