Hollywood Party (1934)

Tomorrow morning (11/24/08) at 8AM ET, TCM will be broadcasting a little number called Hollywood Party (1934) parodying tinseltown's favorite topic (itself) with guests Laurel & Hardy, Jimmy Durante, (singing Inka, Dinka, Doo), Charley Butterworth, Maureen O'Sullivan, Lupe Velez, The Three Stooges and even Mickey Mouse, introducing a Disney produced technicolor cartoon described as "The Hot Chocolate Soldiers", which features some allegedly disturbingly um, adult, moments contributed by some aggressive Gingerbread Men whose message isn't terribly subliminal. I guess this squeaked by just before the Production Code got some teeth in it.
I don't know if it's any good, but doesn't that lineup intrigue you? Here's a link to the trailer for what looks like some cheerful vulgarity
Mr. Durante (and friend, possibly Lupe?) getting acquainted during the filming. Why can't I ever get invited to parties like this?
