Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

This feature (just over an hour) showcases the well-honed comic patter of George Burns and Gracie Allen during the busiest time in their movie career, the mid-1930s. Gracie's dingbat malapropisms were so perfectly straightforward ("I really shouldn't drink coffee in the morning; it keeps me awake all day"), and Burns's straight-man timing so unerring, the pair was often funnier than their material. Love in Bloom casts George and Gracie as carnival folk, in support of a sappy plot of young lovers in New York. The Burns and Allen chemistry was really at its best in their short films, radio, and TV, but their Paramount features are pleasing entertainment nonetheless. --Robert Horton

Unfortunately Gracie Allen and Bob Burns part is the sub plot of this story. The main story is good but I wish it had been switched. Dixie Lee (Mrs. Bing Crosby) has a nice voice and a good presence. It's a shame this is the only movie with her in print. She plays a girl who has dreams of stardom only they go nowhere. Luckily she meets a struggling songwriter and the two find work together at a music shop and love. But she feels bad about her vaudeville past and doesn't feel worthy to him. Gracie and Bob track her down, members of her past vaudeville act. There is a classic scene where Gracie gets out of a ticket.
