Manhattan Merry-Go-Round review
An ambitious musical from poverty row studio Republic in which gangster Leo Carrillo takes over a recording company. It's pleasant enough until the plot becomes pre-occupied with Tamara Geva's temperamental opera singer, at which point the whole thing becomes interminable. Highlight of the movie is Carrillo's mangling of the English language.
