Wynne Gibson and Lawrence Gray in Children of Pleasure (1930)

Review by ksf-2

Children of Pleasure

6/10

what's a guy to do? can't choose...

Early talkie. Danny and Emma ( (Lawrence Gray and Wynne Gibson) are in show biz, and trying to make a go of it. Blackface minstrel show. Producing various shows. Lots of long lines of dancers, uniform formations and outfits. He seems to be torn between to birds... emma and pat. He teeters back and forth between them. What's a guy to do? Such problems. Lots of snap crackle pop on the sound track, but the picture quality is pretty good! Original play from Crane Wilbur; was caught up in the production of Tomorrow's Children, a discussion of sterilization and birth conrol, which was a huge no-no at the time. Directed by Harry Beaumont, who had JUST been nominated for Broadway Melody. It's okay.
