Dorothy Dare and Hal Le Roy in Syncopated City (1934)

Review by imdb-25288

Syncopated City

7/10

Art deco short with some chunky firewomen who forgot their pants show 0 cellulite

Art deco folks, women dancing in white gowns with sequins trim; men in tuxedos with long ties, a city employee sitting down and tap dancing, women nurses singing to a patient with the lovely voices often heard in 1930's cartoons. And then the most bizarre sequence: some women running a fire station in tops and boots, but they've forgotten their pants as they slide down the pole.

Next is some art deco dance with women wearing hats in the shape of the top of the Empire State Building, which I guess they were constructing back then.

The get in the fire truck but when they arrive on the scene, they just dance on the stairs. One can't help but notice how chunky their thighs are, back in the era on the heels of flapper girls who were known to be rail thin. A bizarre sight, all these chunky thighs and 0 cellulite. I guess they didn't have collagen-destroying food additives back when!

A bizarre symphony but good to be immersed in the art deco era and see what the entertainment was like back then. Silly and weird but not bad at all, for what it is.
