Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertThere are songs and production numbers from the great 1930s musicals and newsreel footage of the rioting strikers at Ford, and animated sequences, and Will Rogers kidding FDR and Rudy Vallee singing the title song. But to what purpose?
User Review - 10/10 by Kimberly Acombination of film and newsreel clips along with boxing match and rematch and other cultural musical performances truly illustrates the essense of the US in that most desperate of hard times
User Review - 6/10 by Stephen CA novel idea for a film using as it does Film,Newsreel and radio clips to chronicle the great depression which paralysed America during the late 20s and 30S. The film clips contrats Busby Berkelys high rolling music numbers with the dirt poor of Americas midwest and hows thousands were uprooted and forced to move when things became too tough. Many of the periods stars and other names appear from James Cagney to Humprey Bogart to Huey Long to the hero of the piece Franklin D Roosevelt who would lead America from slump to boom to Second World war. The film features the greta songs of the period such as Woody Guthries Vigilante man to that timeless classic Were in the Money. Sometimes the film does feel a bit dry but then thats to be expected when dealing with such a serious subject,but on the whole if you want a snapshot of a countyr during a vital period of time then this film does a hell of a lot.
User Review - 6/10 by Andrew FThough I think this movie was a lofty experiment, I found it kind of boring.
User Review - 4/10 by Thomas Nthis compilation of clips from movies and documentary footage from that time didn`t do much for me. in the end I found it tedious.
