I’ve Got to Sing a Torch Song (1933) by Bernard B. Brown, Tom Palmer
The cartoon is a series of gags featuring characters all singing and dancing to the song “I’ve Got to Sing a Torch Song“ and/or reacting to radio broadcasts. Some scenes are set in stereotypical portrayals of China, Africa, the Arctic, the Middle East and New York City. Some characters are caricatures of celebrities of the 1930s, including: Benito Mussolini, George Bernard Shaw, Leopold Stokowski, Ed Wynn (doing a running gag with 8:00AM), Bing Crosby (identified as Cros Bingsby on the door of his office), James Cagney and Joan Blondell, Ben Bernie, Guy Kibbee, Wheeler and Woolsey, the Boswell Sisters, Greta Garbo,[5] Zasu Pitts and Mae West.[6][7] In one gag, a sultan is shown listening to the Amos ’n’ Andy radio show. Another gag features the Statue of Liberty singing the title track, while ending with the line “Ha-cha-cha-cha-cha-cha“, in reference to Jimmy Durante. Garbo, Pitts, and West then play a short tune from The Girl I Left Behind Me. Then Ed Wynn returns to the microphone for one more running gag with a cannon, but it misfires and sends him flying back into his home through the sunroof and landing on a bed with a wife and children who are all wearing firemen’s hats; they utter the catch phrase, “Sooo...“, with Ed Wynn chortling as the sequence ends.
Garbo concludes the cartoon by saying That’s all, folks!.
