Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)You know, I never understood that phrase "run off and join the circus" until I saw this film. It seemed like a silly saying, but I guess it was movies like this that put the idea in people's mind. This is a funny sing-a-long musical about a kid who runs off from home, joins the circus and finds out that he is a great singer. I liked the cirucs acts - the trampoline and the clowns more than the singing, but that is a matter of personal taste. It's a good quality print and the sound is better that most of this era.

Musicals like Lets Sing Again will never grow stale, and this remarkable feature film bears the masterly touch of director Kurt Neumann. The story is simple enough and has distinct Dickensian undertones - heartwarming in its impact and delightful from beginning to end. The story is of an orphaned boy who runs away with a traveling circus, reveals singing talents that he has inherited form his gifted father - and the final reunion. Without the singular acting and singing talents involved throughout - especially that of young Bobby Breen himself - this would have probably been a mediocre and forgettable storyline. However, Neumann's directorial panache and the unreservedly brilliant performances ensure that this fascinating film from the last century rises above the commonplace. Amongst the most noteworthy features of this moving vintage offering from the A2ZCDS archive are the outstanding songs ‘Lets Sing Again' by Jimmy McHugh and Gus Kahn, ‘Lullaby' by Hugo Riesenfeld and Selma Hautzik, and ‘Farmers in the Dell' by Samuel Pokrass and Charles O. Locke. Lets Sing Again is a marvelous movie experience for the entire family, and you will carry it in your heart forever.
