Review of Hollywood Handicap

This M-G-M short features an African-American musical group called The Original Sing Band and was directed by Buster Keaton, the comedian. This group is given a prize horse who turn out to be no prize at all! Oh, and this group was pretty unique at the time because many of them used their mouths as instruments. The singing was pretty entertaining but what comedy that ensured was pretty lame. I'm guessing this was included on The Jazz Singer DVD set was because Al Jolson was one of the featured stars in the spectator parts of this film along with his then-wife Ruber Keeler, Bing Crosby, Oliver Hardy, Mickey Rooney, and many others. So on that note, Hollywood Handicap is at the least, worth a look.
