We're Not Dressing (1934)
The wealthy, spoiled, silly guests on a yacht are forced to slum it with a few of the sailors on the crew when they’re shipwrecked and stranded on a desert island in We’re Not Dressing. Carole Lombard is being pursued by Ray Milland and Jay Henry, but sailor Bing Crosby catches her eye—and ear. Ethel Merman is engaged to Leon Errol, but she lusts after Ray and Jay. Oh, the woes of the rich and famous! As it that isn’t lofty and silly enough, Bing Crosby’s biggest fan is a bear cub who throws a fit unless she’s getting serenaded by a particular song. There’s even a scene where Bing sings to her while grooming her fut. Her jaws aren’t sewn shut, and she freely swings her paws, but thankfully, there are no injuries captured on camera.
As silly as this movie is, it’s a little bit fun to watch to step back in time. In 1934, smack dab in the middle of the Great Depression, it was wonderful escapism to watch a bunch of rich people on an island with no clue how to make a campfire. It was also a treat to see the radio stars George Burns and Gracie Allen on the screen, keeping up their famous husband-and-wife banter, even most some of the gags make modern audiences roll their eyes. And an even bigger treat was catching the Broadway sensation Ethel Merman in a movie, since she mostly kept to the stage. I adore her, but if you’ve never seen her in a movie, she’s pretty similar to Patsy Kelly.
