This Way Please

About This Movie

This Way Please is a charming blend of comedy and romance set against the backdrop of a theatrical world. The film weaves a light-hearted narrative where a famous singer, portrayed with an amiable charisma, helps a young usher find her singing voice. As her career takes off, the pacing picks up, revealing the complexities of ambition and love. The performances are delightful, with a dynamic energy that captures the era's spirit. There's a palpable tension as the singer realizes his feelings for her just as she steps into the limelight. It’s the kind of film that reflects the hopeful yet bittersweet nature of pursuing dreams, making it a little gem from the late 30s.

This Way Please has seen limited format releases, which adds to its intrigue among collectors. The scarcity of original prints make it a bit harder to find, and it often flies under the radar when discussing 1930s musicals. It's an interesting piece for those looking to explore the lesser-known titles of the genre, with its blend of light comedy and heartfelt moments. A nice entry in a collection focusing on transitional cinema from the silent to sound era.
