Bebe Daniels, Wheeler & Woolsey, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. 98 min. A circus performer falls in love with a Southern sophisticate / The first live-action 3-strip Technicolor film ever made. 20 min. 1930 - USA - 98 min - Color Review: The Roan version is the BEST1 - I've waited a long time before getting the Roan version of this film. I owned the Alpha version which was decent, until I got the Roan copy. The Roan version outshines any other copy out there. 35mm elements had to of been used, as the print sparkles on the screen. The Tech scenes are bright and totally restored. If you've seen the C& C television print you will fully appreciate this beautiful version of W&W's musical. Not a bad deal for 8 bucks! Review: DIXIANA-something to think about - Considering the enormous loss of early sound films, it is amazing that Dixiana survived at all. We cannot sit in 2013 and wonder why a film from 1930 does not seem to measure up. We must see it from the viewpoint of that time. 1929 began one of the many financial "Panics in American history before they were called, "Depressions", and general laughter was not easily on the lip. Sex was suggested and, the audiences were not clubbed over the head with it as they are today. Wheeler and Wolsey were not famous by accident. Again, a softer humor was adequate for that time, when it was all absolutely new. Harry Tierney, a household name, was one of the great universally admired American composers for the stage at that time, and Dixiana was first conceived as a stage piece. The public believed, and needed to believe, that happy endings were possible and did not need to be taken through dark psychological labyrinths to find the "truth" they needed. How fortunate they were.

Thanks, John Wilson, Music Historian ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I do declare...it's Wheeler & Woolsey! *by R***D on January 4, 2014* The DVD cover art for this early Wheeler & Woolsey musical comedy is a bit misleading; Bebe Daniels has top billing over the boys, as they are clearly in supporting roles as comedy leads. The comedy team would get their chance starring in their own vehicles shortly after, beginning with "Half Shot at Sunrise". As one of many stage productions adapted to screen during the early talkie era, it's a pleasant slice of 1800's New Orleans hospitality as Daniels plays the title character Dixiana, an enchanting entertainer introduced into high-brow Orleans society, but harboring a checkered past as a circus star (yes, there was a great deal of prejudice & condescension towards "showbiz folk" back then, apparently). This web of deceit, misunderstandings & star-crossed romance builds to a frothy climax (typical of early 1930's productions). The Wizard of Oz-like switch from black & white to technicolor is something really to behold, considering this was only 1930. So the question remains: Are W&W funny? Well, being a musical comedy, they are forced to share screen time with the many gargantuan musical numbers, so they're appearances are few & far between. But the dueling bit is elaborate & funny. And the running gag about the "cigar game" is good for several chuckles. But in my opinion, W&W would be shown to greater advantage in their starring vehicles. In other words, the best was yet to come. Still, whether your a W&W fan or a fan of early 30's musicals, you'll find this one satisfying! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/14671440-dixiana-la-cucaracha](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/14671440-dixiana-la-cucaracha) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
