not as I remembered it
a very good print of an all-star review from Paramount Pictures in 1930. Some of the numbers were quite good, others, not so much. I remembered this film as being much better than it actually was.

Completes my collection of the studios' all-star reviews
If this is from the best print available then it's just OK. I would prefer if it was from a pristine print but I guess that may not exist. So, I enjoyed it for what it was, Paramount's All-Talking, All-Hands-on-Deck, personalities' visual catalog. Maybe buried in Universal's vaults there is a better copy of this pre-1954 Paramount film to work from. (Paramount sold Universal all its pre-1954 films. Pretty dumb move in hindsight. And Universal is apparently reluctant to widely distribute their Paramount treasure trove which is why I'm glad Zeus is providing one of the only resources.)
