5.9/10

A definitive 5.9/10 rating for a film that redefined the boundaries of cult cinema. Close Harmony remains a cornerstone of transgressive art.
Okay, so Close Harmony from 1929. If you're not already into early sound pictures, this one's probably not gonna change your mind. It's a snapshot, really. A curious piece for folks who wanna see how movies learned to talk. For anyone else? You'll likely be bored stiff. 😬 It's definitely not a film for a casual movie night unless you're specifically hunting for cinema history.
The setup is pretty simple. Harry (Charles 'Buddy' Rogers) plays a young guy with big dreams of writing hit songs
