South Sea Island Bolero ~ 1934 ~ The Most Bizarre Musical Number Ever Filmed

Here is the South Sea Island Bolero ~ 1934 ~ The Most Bizarre Musical Number Ever Filmed.
The movie that this production number is from is early 1930s surrealist fare along the lines of "Million Dollar Legs" and "Diplomaniacs", thus this production number takes the cake as the weirdest number to come out of early 30s Hollywood. Is this a surrealist masterpiece or something that should be buried forever? You Decide !
With Ned Sparks, Polly Moran, Sterling Holloway, Sidney Blackmer and Mary Boland

"The musical picture that ended Lou Brock's career as an RKO Radio producer"

I don't see what's so bizarre about it. It's pretty good golden age silver screen big production musical, and Stirling Holloway is fab. Thanks for posting - I enjoyed it!

I believe this was the pilot episode to LOST, wasn't it?

They are all dead now, if the republicans had passed a health care plan half of them would still be alive.

"Listen to the leaves, Russell." But I didn't see any character named Russell in the credits ...

Talk about a production number that needed Busby Berkley! Sterling Holloway is very cute but has nothing to do. A little long, but a classic film 30s musical number. Thanks for posting.

Pure kitsch - that's all.

10:00 minutes of your life that will have you fantasizing what you're watching---and unfortunately listening to---was all taking place in a remote theme park on Isla Nuba. You'll almost start to foam at the mouth with anticipation, imagining hundreds of Velociraptors rushing in to break up this ludicrous luau. Alas, it never happens.

Is that Al Franken at 6:10? This movie makes "Gilligan's Island" look credible.

Beautiful song - rather horrid production number.

just goes to show you what people will do in the middle of a Depression (1934) to make a living. Thanks.

Busby Berkley meets "Song of the Islands" - the only thing missing was the obligatory volcano - but the cruise liner blowing up will do! A real treat.
