"Side Show " is a 1931 all-talking musical comedy film starring Winnie Lightner and Charles Butterworth and released by Warner Bros.

Production

The film was originally intended to be released, in the United States, early in 1931, but was shelved due to public apathy towards musicals. Despite waiting a number of months, the public proved obstinate and the Warner Bros. reluctantly released the film in September 1931 after removing all the music except for one song which was sung by Winnie Lightner. The film was released outside the United States (since there was no backlash against musicals outside the United States) as a full musical comedy early in 1931.

Trivia

The director of the film, Roy Del Ruth, would later end up falling in love with Winnie Lightner. They were married in 1948.

ongs

Only one song was left in the movie in the print released in the United States. The song was called "What Do You Think of Me Now?" and was sung by Winnie Lighter.

Preservation

Only the cut print released in 1931 in the United States seems to have survived. The complete film was released intact in countries outside the United States where a backlash against musicals never occurred. It is unknown whether a copy of this full version still exists.
