Poster for the movie Dixiana

Dixiana (RKO, 1930)

Early sound musical set in New Orleans, notable for featuring the team of Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey in supporting roles, has little interest save as a historical curiosity. Although some of the singing and dancing is good, a hackneyed plot and a stiff leading man weaken the film; Bebe Daniels in the title role is fine. The final 20 minutes are in 2-strip Technicolor and may be worth a look from that perspective.

  Overall, not recommended. Otto thinks you should avoid this movie.

Movie 167 for 2021.
