Why doesn't Universal release this one on DVD? I'm not sure but I think this is the oldest surviving all-color all-talking film. Plus the numbers have held up pretty well over time.

I just heard this number done by Crosby. Yuk. I can't picture short chunky Crosby in a cowboy suit singing this in a movie. Can anyone else. I love John's stride in the cowboy boots and what beautiful eyes. By the way, the R's were not just taught to tenors. This was done for early sound because they did not have sound like we do now and it made words easier to understand. Did you ever watch Singing in the Rain where they were teacing the actors to roll their Rs?

Boles does a great job in this performance.
I understand about Bing Crosby being yanked from this piece by Whiteman for disciplinary reasons, but I have a lot of trouble picturing Crosby in a cowboy outfit in the first place. Maybe the same idea occurred to Pops.

Thanks for posting! Boles is under appreciated today.

Loving that two-strip technicolour....

Glad to see John Boles has not been forgotten.
He deserves wider recognition.

Crosby was supposed to sing this number, but because of his misbehaving during filming, Whiteman punished him by giving this juicy part (which would have a made Crosby a star earlier) to Boles. Boles never got the big break he needed. He also was a very good dramatic actor. He played the part of Stanwyck's estranged husband in "Stella Dallas" in 1937.

I love this movie, and Boles' accent, too!

yes, he's amazing! sadly he didn't become one of the biggest stars of his time, but starred in a bunch of great movies... i love the "Monterey" number with Jeanette Loff from this movie!
