Let's Sing a Song About the Moonlight (1948)
*** (out of 4)
"Memories from Memory Lane" is the title given to this short from Warner, which is actually an excellent trip down just that...memory lane. I always find the idea of a group of people sitting in a theater singing to be rather funny but that's what this short does. We get four different songs being sung by professionals before the narrator steps in and tells the crowd to sing. We get the words up on the screen so that people can follow along. By the Light of the Silvery Moon, Moonlight Bay, In the Evening of the Moonlight and Shine On, Harvest Moon are the four songs performed. Ann Sheridan's singing of the last song, from SHINE ON HARVEST MOON, is shown then of course it's the crowds turn. I haven't seen too many of these sing-a-long shorts but this one here was a lot of fun. No, I didn't sing along with the screen but it was fun without my horrid voice adding anything.
