...because it is at least a successful attempt to evoke atmosphere and, more important emotion. Rex Whistler's scenery and costumes are based on Hogarth's famous series of etchings, and the entire ballet is conceived in this spirit. In six scenes we follow the downfall of the young Bake, splendidly danced by Alexander Grant.

It is a smooth combination of comedy and pathos, romance and excitement, plus some pleasant Crosby crooning (notably, Let's Bake a Sunshine Cake). Like all Capra pictures, it is also calculated to delight the largest possible audience by taking potshots at the greedy and the pompous, while letting the meek inherit the earth...
