tavm Review of Going Ga-Ga

Going Ga-Ga (1929)

Going Ga-Ga was Anita Garvin and Marion Byron's second short as a team

[7/10 · 27 July 2023]

This is my review of the second of the shorts the brief comedy team of Anita Garvin and Marion Byron made, their first being Feed 'em and Weep. In this one, a woman gives them a baby to take care of but they find out it actually was kidnapped and a detective (Max Davidson) eyes them suspiciously when seeing them. So they send the toddler to an orphanage before finding out about a reward for it's return...As with Feed 'em and Weep, there are some scenes missing so stills and text explaining what happened are substituted as before. There are some funny scenes like when Anita causes some beds in the orphanage to bump into each other though it's not as hilarious as the previous short. Still, it's entertaining enough so that's a recommendation for Going Ga-Ga. Next, I'll review A Pair of Tights.
