1928/1929 Best Picture Winner
Premiered on February 1, 1929 in Hollywood
Budget: $379,000
Gross: $2.8 Million
Some critics call this movie the worst Oscar Best Picture winner in history. We hope that it doesn't get any worse than this movie. It was obviously a struggling time in film as they were figuring out the sound aspect. The acting was terrible, the script was awful and the editing must have been done by a child. The movie lacked any deep plot, but was simply a lighthearted, nonsensical look at two sisters trying to make it big on Broadway. Don't waste your time on this movie.
Callie
Favorite: When the preacher was dancing during "The Wedding of the Painted Doll" act.
Least Favorite: Listening to the men's group sing during the birthday scene...I don't think men are meant to sing that high.
Joel
Favorite: When the final credits rolled.
Least Favorite: The fight scene between Eddie and Jacque. It was over the top and unrealistic.
