East Side Of Heaven (1939)

A singing taxi driver (Bing Crosby) finds himself stuck with a baby left in his cab by a woman (Irene Hervey), who's looking for her missing husband (Robert Kent). Meanwhile, the baby's  millionaire grandfather (C. Aubrey Smith) has detectives roaming the city to find the missing child. Directed by David Butler (CALAMITY JANE). A moderately entertaining comedy with songs (courtesy of Bing Crosby, who also had money invested in the movie). The kind of fluff with an "adorable" baby at its center designed to make audiences go, "Awww ... isn't he cute?". Yes, the baby (billed as Baby Sandy) is cute but after too many close ups of the cooing or laughing infant, it gets rather tiresome. Crosby's romantic interest is Joan Blondell and they have an easy going chemistry together. Then there's Mischa Auer as Crosby's wacky room mate to provide the laughs. Considering I'm so not a Crosby fan, I had a pleasant enough time with it. With Jerome Cowan and Jane Jones.
