So, 'With Love and Kisses' is one of those quirky 1930s comedies that catches your eye. The story revolves around this innocent farmer trying to make it big in New York with his songs. It's got this charming, almost naive vibe, and you can’t help but feel for him as he navigates the Big Apple’s tough scene. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it adds to that carefree feeling of the era. The performances are quite earnest, especially from the crooner who’s really after the farmer's song, which is kind of a fascinating commentary on artistic value versus monetary gain. It's distinct for its blend of humor with a touch of heartfelt naivety, making it a bit of a hidden gem, I'd say.
This film has been released on various formats over the years, but its scarcity makes it a bit of a treasure for collectors.

Interest seems to fluctuate depending on the conversation around forgotten comedies of the '30s, but those who know it appreciate its quirky charm and the social dynamics it explores.
