Land Without Music (1936) And Home Run On The Keys DVD

LAND WITHOUT MUSIC starring Jimmy Durante and Richard Tauber. The people of the country of Lucco simply love music. They sing and play their musical instruments all day long. In fact, that's all they do. Nobody works! The country is in debt to Austria to the tune (pun intended) of 10 million crowns. When the Princess Regent learns of this she promptly declares all music forbidden in an effort to force her citizens to get back to work! This is a very good musical comedy with nice production values, photography and period settings. It's also a heck of a lot of fun! HOME RUN ON THE KEYS starring Babe Ruth and Zez Confrey. What musical short would be complete without Babe Ruth? Babe and his pals are relaxing in their hunting lodge while Babe reminisces about his great days of baseball. For our convenience, these scenes are superimposed in the fireplace as Babe contemplates. It doesn't take long for our pals to come up with a great idea - a song about baseball! They're so pleased with it they even perform it on the radio!
