Classic Television Showbiz's Late Late Show: 50 Million Frenchmen starring Olsen and Johnson (1931)
By the time this was ready for release, people had gotten sick of the glut of musicals. Warner Bros, in response, cut all the songs for the American release but retained them for Europe. By cutting the songs, it makes a bad movie even worse. Watch how many times it appears the actors seem ready to break out into song... then don't. Olsen & Johnson were far funnier in their Universal comedies.
