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).

Both rows of Ladies are now clasping their hands together as they are now waving theim from side to side as they are still on the rotating stage and are now bending up and down at their waists and are as they are now tapping in place as they now look like a bunch of Indians on the war-path.
All of the Ladies are now bowing downwards and then are coming up as they are now shaking their arms loosely at their sides as they are now doing a shuffle to and fro then side to side style of a tap dance.
We are now seeing the mist slowly coming up again as the Ladies are now rocking from side to side as they are slapping their thighs and are bending at the waists as they are rocking on thei feet and are stomping them at the same time.
The Ladies are now doing a can-can style of a dance mixed with a march style of a dance.
We end the dance routine where we are seeing a Naval boat being blown up as the Ladies are now running fratically off of the stage in all different directions in a total state of fear and panic.

I'm surprised that I never reviewed this before now, but to be honest I can't do more than echo what previous reviewers have said. This short is awful, primarily because George Givot's character is just so damned annoying, and the musical numbers aren't that great (no doubt why they were cut in the first place.) Seriously, the short's only redeeming feature is Curly in an early screen appearance, and even then, he isn't given much to do. Skip it unless you are just a die-hard completist who wants to see everything Curly has ever done.

As much as I love Curly, this short was TERRIBLE! Another MGM short where totally unrelated footage cut from other MGM movies is inserted to fill out the "plot".
And if I am not mistaken, the accent that George Givot uses was the "inspiration" for the two headed giant in the color Popeye cartoon "Popeye Meets Sinbad The Sailor". Now, THAT was a good short!!!

George Givot's entire act seems to consist of simply saying "Well HOW do you LIKE THAT?" every thirty seconds. Very annoying!
Curly isn't given much to do, funny or otherwise, but interesting to see him so early in his development. Also, we have a rare opportunity to hear his real voice in the "when you gotta go, you gotta go" sketch.
An historical curiosity...not much else.
