Policy Girl, The (1934)
** (out of 4)
Vitaphone short has an insurance salesman begging his sister to introduce him to a radio star so that he can sell her a policy. Roy Mack directed this film without much fire but I can't say this was his style since this was the first film I've seen from him and he did make over a hundred in his career. What we got is basically another attempted comedy that mixes several musical segments but the comedy isn't funny and the songs aren't memorable. The film takes a while to warm up but not once would I say it's entertaining. Mitzi Mayfair, apparently a major Broadway star who couldn't make it in Hollywood, gets top billing but doesn't add anything to the film.
