TOP OF THE TOWN  (1937):

Diana Borden, a bleeding-heart rich-girl, returns from a trip to Russia filled with sympathy for the "little" people of the slums and wants to do "something" artistic and socially significant for them, so she opens up a nightclub atop a 100-story skyscraper. For her, "socially significant" that means acts such as opera singers, extracts from "Hamlet" and three sailors imitating a giraffe. Bandleader Ted Lane thinks hot-music, burlesque-acts and the old razzle-dazzle is just the ticket. Her programming leads to early exits and no-returns.

DVD-R is in English with no subtitles. Approx. 85 mins. See film sample for audio and video quality!
