No, No, Nanette (1930)

First National has learned a stupendous secret, and so has made a rip-roaring good picture out of this musical comedy. It has discovered that these girl-and-music things need laughs!

For all the beautiful Technicolor stuff — the finest to date; for all the songs, dances and love interest, "Nanette" is notable for its loud, continuous haw-haws. Led by ZaSu Pitts, Lilyan Tashman, Lucien Littlefield and Bert Roach, the picture has howl after howl. Littlefield plays an amiable Bible-publisher who gets into all sorts of grief by harmlessly helping pretty girls and producing a musical comedy.

Alexander Gray and Bernice Claire do the loving and sing the songs. The little Claire girl is pretty, and sings like a birdie. Entertainment plus. All Talkie.
