Cameo Kirby (1930)





Here we are again, the South of crinolines and gallantry, and a famous old veteran of a story. "Cameo Kirby," romance of a river gambler, was one of John Gilbert's earliest successes. It has been re-tailored for J. Harold Murray, with theme songs thrown in. Even Stepin Fetchit sings. Too bad, too. Despite graceful charm, it isn't exciting, but Murray's voice is swell.
