I've been looking forward to this FOR MONTHS.

At Film Forum (209 West Houston Street, New York, NY 10014, between 6th Avenue and Varick (7th Avenue) TODAY ONLY features ALL TALKING! ALL SINGING! ALL COLOR! A program of
luscious color shorts from the 1930s, including the very Pre-Code THE DEVIL'S CABARET (1932), set in a jazzy Hell; the newly-restored Hollywood Party (1937), hosted by Charlie Chase with cameos by Clark Gable, Joan Bennett, Anna May Wong, et al. and my all-time favorite mini-musical, GOOD MORNING, EVE! Only the second live action Technicolor film ever made, this saucy pre-code delight blends Mel Brooks 'History of the World' comedy and zippy Busby Berkeley-esque choreography, with eye-popping Technicolor at its most succulent. Approx. 100 min.
