#AmWatching PICK A STAR (1937)- a delightful #HalRoach production. #PatsyKelly and #JackHaley really successfully carry this film and there's also a cute appearance by #LaurelandHardy. It's a Cinderella story where the Cinderella character is the least interesting of the ensemble. You'll be sure to smile at the behind the scenes 1937 Hollywood scenes. Patsy Kelly has become a favorite, plus Jack Haley is so sweet here.
