Review of Sunny Side Up

Sunny Side Up (1929)
7/10
Typical early talkin' movie
19 August 2000
Charles Farrell was surely a good partner for Janet Gaynor in the silent era, but here, we see that the guy is really a very bad actor! This film had also one of the worst musical number of the Hollywood history (near the end, with the fountains...) And it's typical of the early talkin' films : it talks! Talks! It makes a lot of sound and shows nothing! Well... you might think I hate this film? Not really. It had charm, very honest intentions, and it keeps us smiling. Miss Gaynor is absolutely wonderful of youth, freshness, and she's so lovely!!! The three songs she sangs are wondeful too, especially I'm a Dreamer. Get me a time machine and I want to go back in 1929 to marry Janet Gaynor!
