Palmy Days
Palmy Days 1931 is an American PreCode musical comedy film written by Eddie Cantor, Morrie Ryskind, and David Freedman, directed by A. Edward Sutherland, and choreographed by Busby Berkeley who makes a cameo appearance as a fortune teller. The film stars Eddie Cantor. The famed Goldwyn Girls make appearances during elaborate production numbers set in a gymnasium and a bakery Glorifying the American Doughnut. Betty Grable, Paulette Goddard, Virginia Grey, and Toby Wing are among the bevy of chorines.
New York Times movie critic Mordaunt Hall, described Palmy Days as a more or less funny diatribe with two or three inconsequential melodies and a great deal to gaze, including pretty damsels from the Pacific Coast and effectively photographed groups of dancers.Brandname products rarely appeared in movies of this period, partly because of the campaign against that practice by the motion picture trade periodical Harrisons Reports. In an editorial, that publication reported the onscreen appearance of an Underwood Typewriter and product of Continental Baking Company. ........
