The Dogway Melody
About The Dogway Melody
Every player is a trained dog, with a human voice laid over the bark. The short restages bits of early musical pictures, above all The Broadway Melody. The finish is a canine chorus line of "Singing in the Rain," aimed at Cliff Edwards's number in The Hollywood Revue of 1929. Another turn takes off Al Jolson's "Mammy" in The Jazz Singer.
