PUNQ

Rated 16 Feb 2015

This gives the almost incestuous Duncan Sisters a chance to be loud. They'd done a couple of silents together, but this was their only sound feature. They even gave them the Technicolor treatment! Not even that managed to take advantage of the Duncan Sisters' stage popularity. I guess they got lost among the other 1000 vaudeville movies made at the time. With that said this is a interesting curio even with it's flaws and direct rip-offs of their stage act trying to create a story out of it.
