Hallelujah I'm a Bum Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 23, 2025
It was a 1933 musical by Al Jolson that portrayed being homeless as a choice. I found it too detached. There are ways to find humor in poverty; this isn't one of them.
Vanity Fair
Pare Lorentz
The moral, which I meant to put briefly, is that even popular music should be presented by people who genuinely like and understand music.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A whimsical, offbeat and somewhat original Depression-era musical comedy.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Jolson's best acting; great Rodgers & Hart score; quirky rhymed dialogue
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
Even things that are more jarring than effective -- school children and teachers singing "My Country 'Tis of Thee" with a cut on every syllable -- are unforgettable.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeffrey M. Anderson
A very strange, pre-code, quasi-musical with a socialist message and a talking performance by silent comic Harry Langdon.
