MONTICELLO, HERE WE COME!
Directed and produced by Joseph Seiden
Released in January 1950
74 minutes, B & W
 

At a Monticello, New York establishment, host Larry Daniels tells stories and introduces a number of performers, including the Burton Sisters singing "You're Lovely in My Eyes"; comedian Menashe Skulnick performing the song-skit "Oy Doctor"; Seymour Rechtzeit singing a love song with Esta Salzman; Cantor Leibele Waldman singing the Hebrew prayer "Kol Nidre" in a synagogue; comedian Max Wilner; female cantor Mary Forest; Joseph Buloff portraying a Russian shoemaker in a skit entitled "The Shoemaker's Romance"; comedian Fyvush Finkel performing the song-skit "I Want a Divorce;" Michel Rosenberg; song and dance team Leo Fuchs and Yetta Zwerling; and actor Michel Michalesko performing a song and a scene ...

The opening credits read, "'Monticello, Here We Come!' A Borscht Circuit Revue." Portions of the film consisted of shorts made in 1930 by Judea Film, a company owned by director Joseph Seiden. "Oy Doctor" was taken from a two-reel film of the same name, and "The Shoemaker's Romance," from the two-reel film Shuster Libe; both of these sequences were also included in the 1933 film Live and Laugh (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-40; F3.2538) and in the 1941 film Mazel Tov Yidden (see entry above). According to modern sources, in 1950, Seiden also released Borsht Belt Follies, which either was this film under a different title, or another picture incorporating some of this film's material.
