The Dog Lovers' Favourite
8 November 2009
If you love cute dogs, don't on any account miss a chance to see this picture for the number in which THREE men (Durante, Vallee, and Edwards) try to pick up girls with the trusty device of the cute dog. In "My Dog Loves Your Dog" each man point out to a girl that his dog is very fond of the girl's dog, so why don't they follow their pets' example! (Not such a bad idea, when one considers the number of couples who have broken up because of a pet, so it's great if things can go right from the start.) The song is rather babyish, but it is very sweet because it creates the idea that the reason the woman should take the man is that he will offer her doglike devotion (but not in a drippy way, in a lighthearted way--Rudy Vallee sings to Alice Faye, "You know that I really am/Much nicer than that sealyham"! As dog lovers know, this is another reason to watch the film, a real period piece, because sealyhams, which were fashionable in the Twenties and early Thirties, are now almost extinct!
