Product: Rhythm On The Range/Rhythm On The River - Double Feature (1936)
Rating: 5.0
RHYTHM OF THE RANGE "IS" GOOD
I don't know why Rhythm On The Range gets no love from the reviewers, but I thought it was just as good as Rhythm On The River. Rhythm On The Range is interesting for a couple of reasons. There is Farmer. If you watch this movie and then the movie Frances you can see the scene where Farmer complains to the director that her clothes are not dirty. The director tells here that noone will notice and he was right. You can also see the original "bazooka"(a homemade trombone)which, if I'm not mistaken, influenced the GI's in WWII in naming thier anti-tank weapon the bazooka. Then there's Bing. He's just too cool, even as a cowboy. For a movie made in 1936 it really hold up. Don't get me wrong Rhythm On The River is also good. Watch for Dennis O'Keefe as a drunk heckler.
