The Hot Choc-late Soldiers (1934)

This film shows why nobody in their right mind . . .

[6/10 · 17 January 2022]

. . . would watch any movie without a running stopwatch, unless they are multitasking and using the flick for background noise. There is no "seven-minute" version of THE HOT CHOCOLATE SOLDIERS. You can get out your own stopwatch or egg timer, and prove to yourself that SOLDIERS lasts only 5 minutes, 17 seconds, give or take a tick. Why would anyone inflate the running time of a cartoon by 40%? Only Walnut knows.
