Hearing a theater full of people (mostly the adults in the room) delightedly exclaim in unison when Betty Boop’s top came off was worth the price of admission.

The era of Fleischer were Betty is slowy becoming the star. I think her design still looks kinda weird, they still haven't got her human look right yet.
Anyways the toon itself. This one's pretty good. I said in an earlier review most Betty Boop/Talkartoons are usually at least a 3. Just Bimbo messing around in Manhattan. "Any rags today" is stuck in my head. The best Fleischer cartoons are the ones that are the most weird and experimental to me. This one gets an extra half star for the nice little music number. Idk the toon's got a nice little groove to it.
ABSOLUTELY WILD with Betty's top falling down like that HELLO?

Definitely a pre-code Cartoon. Betty doesn't make an appearance until well into the movie but it's worth the wait. Lots going on, catchy tune and lots of fun.

talkartoons are even greater in my mind than say, the harman-ising looney tunes (which i'm of course enamored with). what the former lacks in the rubbery vitality of the warners' animation, it seems to make up for it with a really adept and affecting use of non-sequiturs and collisions. they're just so circuitous and unpredictable.
any rags also might make a good primer for this pre-swing hot jazz and blues music. especially taken in context of later developments in music and free jazz, if you take this on the level of not just music as a series of notes, but as sound across time and space, this cartoon feels incredible. this here is a incorporation of sound/noise fields of the city within music. it's all here together, the clanging, the rattling, the shouts, the calls and responses, and of the course the instruments. the intellectual and political are inextricable with the aesthetic—pleasure in the peculiarity, in the surprise.
