Knee Deep in Music (1933)

A curious but enjoyable little film. A tycoon (Nat Carr) seeks a song to sell his tinned fish on the radio. He hires Ruth Etting for the job but the search is on for the correct song. This short film though is basically a vehicle to showcase Etting's singing with some light humour and even a bit of music industry satire added to pad the film out.

Her singing is pretty good though some of the other songs ain't so hot. But will any of the songs sell fish? The jury is out on that one.
