Released February 10, 1934
Featuring Curly Howard (Solo)
MGM
16.25 min. (Short Subject)

Three amateur film makers try to get the executives of Masterpiece Pictures Corp. to exhibit their new movie, only to discover that they are sanitarium escapees.

The short was produced as a way to showcase musical and dance performance footage that had been cut from MGM feature films. ROAST-BEEF & MOVIES was shot in 2-strip Technicolor to match that footage. Blue Daughter From Heaven (Chinese ballet) is taken from LORD BYRON OF BROADWAY (1929), and Dust is from CHILDREN OF PLEASURE (1930).
