Dixiana - In antebellum New Orleans, two men vie for the affections of a beautiful young girl during Mardi Gras. Dixiana (1930) Director: Luther Reed Writers: Luther Reed (adapted by), Anne Caldwell (dialogue) Stars: Bebe Daniels, Everett Marshall, Bert Wheeler Genre: Comedy, Drama, Music, Romance Country: United States Language: English Release Date: 22 July 1930 (USA) Filming Location: RKO Studios - 780 N. Gower Street, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA Storyline: A circus performer becomes the center of affections for two men in this RKO musical starring Bebe Daniels. Dixiana (Daniels) is loved by a plantation owner's son and she loves him but she is also coveted by a crooked gambler who also is looking to swindle the plantation away from the family. Add to this romantic triangle the comedic talents of Wheeler & Woolsey and the first time on screen performance of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and you've got a winner. Reviews: "New Orleans songbird DIXIANA attracts both the noble son of a Dutch planter and the murderous owner of a music hall casino. Here is an interesting antique from 1930, the first year Hollywood was all-Talkie. William Haines comedies were the box-office winners & musicals - like this one - were also extremely popular. Given a lavish production, especially during the Technicolor finale, a close examination of the film revels that the mysteries of the microphone were quickly being deciphered. Bebe Daniels & Everett Marshall provide the romance & music. They certainly try their best, although the dialogue is not overly kind to them, and her fake Southern accent coupled with his wooden acting skills are two high hurdles for them to jump. The film is punctuated by burlesque interludes provided by one of the finest comedic teams of the 1930's - Wheeler & Woolsey. Bert Wheeler (the short, curly-headed one) and Robert Woolsey (the skinny fellow with glasses) were always great fun and their jokes still hit home today, even if they themselves are virtually forgotten. Here they are given great assistance by dialect comedian Joseph Cawthorn, playing their Dutch host at a sumptuous Louisiana plantation; he fits in so well, especially when pulling the Three Cigar Joke, that he practically becomes a third member of the team. Also on hand, as she was in so many of the Boys' films, is pert Dorothy Lee, as kewpie doll cute as ever. The massive Jobyna Howland, playing Cawthorn's temperamental wife, proves once again that she could handle the slapstick as well as the histrionics. Both ladies supply the extra oomph lacking in Miss Daniels' performance. Ralf Harolde makes a mean villain and unbilled George Herman appears as the impressively limber contortionist. The early Technicolor sequence - featuring the Mardi Gras in full swing - is very pleasing to the eye, benefiting from a recent film restoration. However, scenes still seem to be missing, evidenced by Wheeler suddenly appearing in drag (or is that his Carnival costume?) without explanation. Best of all, the legendary Bill Robinson finally arrives, for a total of 3 minutes, to dance for our delight." - written by "Ron Oliver" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Dixiana Brazil Dixiana Canada (English title) Dixiana Denmark Dixiana Finland Dixiana France Dixiana Hungary Az arany lépcső Spain Dixiana Sweden Dixiana UK Dixiana USA Dixiana ···················································································· ✘ Website: https://www.artflix.info/ FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter - https://twitter.com/Artflixtv SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcUc5v0Kt5afE_jcbbZUBQ/join MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8zZFQfLjXuXBFcLF_oP35pQX098fUhQ1 ► Classic Movies: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8zZFQfLjXuUU37GjccbV249yYIHDYrjS ► All Playlists: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNcUc5v0Kt5afE_jcbbZUBQ/playlists ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
