Last night I watched "It Can't Last Forever" (1937), a cute comedy with Ralph Bellamy, a very cute and wonderful-to-watch Betty Furness, Robert Armstrong, Raymond Walburn, Thurston Hall, and Edward Pawley. It began horribly! I thought, "When is this going to get going, or, even better, when is this going to end?" But - finally - it got going and really went well. It ended up being a cute little film. This is definitely a programmer, but worth the watch. Just skip the opening scene which goes on and on and on and on and on and...seemed to last forever! - but didn't... 
Interesting tidbits: The Dandridge Sisters appear in the film, a singing group that includes a young and beautiful Dorothy Dandridge. This is also Donald O'Connor's first film, his debut; he's an uncredited dancer. Marc Lawrence is an uncredited hood; Charles King has a small uncredited part. Amazing secondary cast, really, for such a minor film.
