If you have not caught this one before, it&#8217;s certainly worth the time. It is a light film that pokes fun at the popular crooners of the day. Ann&#8217;s role is minuscule and she is certainly wasted, but when she&#8217;s on screen, she is her delightful self and she does enjoy one great scene where she gets to rip David Manners a new one (he totally has it coming).<\/p>\n<p>Next is <strong>We Who are About to Die<\/strong>, which Ann did at RKO in late 1936. Ann was loaned out to the studio by Warner Bros. following her long-term suspension and court case against her home studio.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0As with many of Ann&#8217;s films in the latter half of the 1930s, she does not have a whole lot to do, but the film itself is an interesting commentary on capital punishment and well worth watching. Plus, I don&#8217;t have any record of this one having aired in the last nine years, so don&#8217;t miss it if you have any interest!<\/p>\n<p>Special thanks to Dvorak devotee Dick, who is a regular\u00c2\u00a0over here at Hollywood&#8217;s Forgotten Rebel, for the heads up.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crooner is going to air on Turner Classic Movies on Thursday, January 21st at 8:15am PST We Who are About to Die is going to air on Turner Classic Movies on Thursday, January 21st at 3:15pm PST.\u00c2\u00a0 All you Dvorak fans are in for a treat tomorrow &#8211; TWO movies featuring our divine Ann-D!
