Movie review - "Harmony Row" (1933) **

 George Wallace's second feature film is like his first an adaptation of one of his revues. It feels stagey - it proceeds in "acts" there's lots of mid shots, Wallace talks to the audience. 

Wallace is talented as are others but it is more of interested as a piece of filmed theatre. The boxing fight at the end is well done - I wonder if Ken G Hall was more influenced by this that he realied.

I watched this film in instalments - someone put it up on the net - and I don't think I missed anything. You could watch the sequences out of order.
