Eddie Cantor stars in 1930 film adaptation of his hit 1928 musical 'Whoopee!', in which he sings, among other songs, his signature tune, 'Makin Whoopee'. Cantor is a New York hypochondriac staying at ranch in the southwest, who ends up in what I guess you'd call a "Love pentagon" as it involves five people. Movie was filmed in the two strip technicolor process so it looks fadded and pastel. Modern audiences should be aware there is blackface and alot of Indian jokes in this. Overall though I found funny and well paced. ***
