Whoopee (1930) ***


Musical numbers (choreographed by Busby Berkeley) are excellent, but Eddie Cantor's schtick is more annoying here than in his later efforts like "The Kid From Spain" (1932) and "Roman Scandals" (1933). Songs and dance numbers:

"Cowboy Number" ***
"I'll Still Belong To You"
"Making Whoopee" ***
"A Girlfriend Of A Boyfriend Of Mine" *
"My Baby Just Cares For Me" ***
"Stetson" **
"I'll Still Belong To You" (reprise)
"The Song Of The Setting Sun" ***
"My Baby Just Cares For Me" (reprise) *
