Donald O'Connor comes across so much like a regular sized Mickey Rooney. Animated and trying all too hard to entertain. Of course if works for these kinds of films.... in doses. Here the whole gang is goofy and it becomes too much without much serious relief. Is it me or was "blackface" more a early 1940s thing than a 30s thing? I would have thought they'd grown out of it by that point. At least in the 30s it had a relevance to Al Jolson's gig/popularity.
