Stand Up and Cheer
by ccManagerCommentary summary:
A stereotypical happy ending of a Depression era Hollywood film
Text Commentary:
Many Depression-era films employed happy endings to lift the spirits of audience members and suggest that the hard times would soon be over. But perhaps no film from the period offered a more fanciful conclusion than this Fox musical featuring Warner Baxter and Shirley Temple just before she became a huge star. Its announcement that “the Depression is over” was, of course, premature.
