Classic technicolor early talkie
Faded color at the beginning of the film, but then, the color seems to get better. A musical about golf, believe it or not, with the hit tune "Button Up Your Overcoat". This is the film which made Jack Haley (The Tin Man in "The Wizard of Oz") a star. Also a chance to see Nancy Carrol, the first movie star created by the talkies, who had no background in silent films or in theatre (very interesting, as Ms. Carrol had a career as a movie star for 3 or 4 years, and after that, somehow was reduced to supporting parts.

Follow Thru (1930) is a hoot!
What a fun movie with good songs. Zelma O'Neil handles the comedy, and the song "Then I'll Have Time for You" was a pleasant surprise! So "Button Up Your Overcoat" and get ready for a good movie. The only reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is the print quality is not quite up to snuff. But you can still follow it quite easily.
