Product: Pick a Star [VHS] (1937)
Rating: 3.0
Okay, so Laurel and Hardy aren't the stars.
This is a very entertaining little musical starring Jack Haley, Patsy Kelly, and Rosina Lawrence, with Laurel and Hardy as guest stars. Jack is trying to get Rosina a screen test in Hollywood. When Rosina mistakenly believes the screen test is arranged, she heads for California with her wisecracking sister Patsy. While Jack schemes to arrange the screen test, Rosina meets a famous romantic movie star (played by Mischa Auer), Patsy watches Laurel and Hardy film a scene, and there are several unremarkable, but peppy, musical numbers. Of course, there is a happy ending(I'm not saying what it is, but you can probably figure it out).Laurel and Hardy's two scenes are definite highlights, and Patsy Kelly is very funny throughout. Curiously, musical star Jack Haley barely sings at all!
