YMMV / The Hollywood Revue of 1929

• Hilarious in Hindsight: In retrospect, Ukelele Ike's falsetto Scat Singing at the end of "Nobody But You" sounds very similar to the later musician Tiny Tim's style.
  • Norma Shearer played Juliet in the Technicolor segment of Romeo and Juliet. Come seven years later, she would play Juliet again in Romeo and Juliet (1936).
• Mis-blamed: The film is sometimes cited as being the direct cause of John Gilbert's downfall, due to his pleasant tenor voice not quite matching his heroic, dashing screen image. However, no contemporary reviews of the film made any criticism of his performance. His next films, His Glorious Night and Redemption, were the ones where his shortcomings (i.e. his over-the-top acting) really showed. ^note Even that may be a case of mis-blaming, since recent research on His Glorious Night has shown that a script that clung too closely to silent film conventions was a more likely culprit. There's also rumors that Louis B. Mayer deliberately sabotaged the film to ruin John Gilbert's career.
