Featured review
The Genteel Burglars
Although there are issues with this early sound comedy, none of them are particularly obnoxious for 1929, a time when the introduction of sound equipment often tied the camera down, and unpracticed silent performers found themselves reduced to stagey line readings. Instead, this short subject about how newlyweds Johnny Arthur and Ruth Taylor go up to their apartment to fetch tickets for a show, only to find a pair of burglars robbing it, is excellent by the standards of the year, with some very funny lines, and an attitude that the bizarre manner in which everyone reacts to everything that makes it fun.
It's also a rare opportunity to see Miss Taylor and hear her voice. She had had a breakout role as Lorelei Lee in GENENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES the previous year, and was poised for some more interesting work, when she threw everything over to get married.
