I loved this short film which not only captures the era, but has the very rare gem of Sammy Davis Jr's first film appearance. At age 7, he already exhibits the qualities that would entertain the world for the next 60 years!
The film is about two competing card shops next door to one another. One has an owner who resorts to unscrupulous methods to try and dupe people into buying his cards. The other uses her imagination to come up with a brand new kind of greeting card that soon everyone wants. After several wonderful vignettes, we see Sammy in the highlight of the film. It is available as an extra in The Busby Berkeley Collection on the Gold Diggers of 1933 disc.
