The only copy I could find was a 480p version on Youtube with poor video quality and poorer audio one. Thankfully the plot is simple enough to grasp even without understanding all that's being said. Tedious to go through, uninspired, some meta elements, a couple of good performances, some bizarre costumes (a bit of a satanic feel, but might be just my imagination), lackluster slapstick and that's about it. The only reason one might have to watch this is if they were into film history.

This early Warner Bros musical clearly did not practice "less is more". The only exception was in the brains department, but the rest was massive stage sets, a ton of actors and show people showing up to make this a grand spectacle. On top of that this was the first all-talkie all-color film made! Unfortunately only a black & white print exists, so it's most luring element is missing, but you still get the feel of how the 1st generation musicals was like and why they quickly fell out of favor.
