Kiss Me Again is a 1931 musical operetta film photographed entirely in Technicolor. It was originally released in the United States as "Toast of the Legion" late in 1930, but was quickly redrawn when Warner Bros. realized that the public had grown weary of musicals. The Warner Bros. believed that this attitude would only last for a few months, but, when the public proved obstinate, they reluctantly re-released the film early in 1931 after making a few cuts to the film.

Film
Walter Pigeon and Edward Everett Horton are two soldiers in love. Pidgeon loves a shop-girl (Bernice Claire) who wants to become a famous singer while Horton loves Walter's arranged fiancée. Walt loses his girl, because her father opposes it and convinces the girl that if she really loves his son she will give him up. He writes her a check, and she uses it to launch her opera career. Edward's in danger of losing her girl because the arranged marriage is going forward. Will true love triumph?
Music When the film was re-released in 1931, most of Walter Pidgeon's songs were cut from the film. Only a small abbreviated version of one of his songs is heard on the existing print.
Preservation  Bernice Claire and Walter Pidgeon embracing. Only a black and white copy of the cut print released in 1931 in the United States seems to have survived. The complete film was released intact in countries outside the United States under the title of "Toast of the Legion" where a backlash against musicals never occurred. It is unknown whether a copy of this full version still exists. |
