About Captain Henry's Radio Show
Recreation of the popular radio show "The Maxwell House Show Boat" offers us a variety show of singers, including a syrupy duet version of "Please" and two white actors in blackface. They are billed as "Molasses and January", and do a routine about a horse race. It won't play well to a modern audience, alas.
Directed by —, Captain Henry's Radio Show leans on a strong ensemble — Annette Hanshaw, Pat Padgett, Pick Malone — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1933.
