The Big Revue, also titled as The Starlet Revue, is a 1929 American musical short film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures as part of their Vitaphone Varieties series. Directed by Murray Roth, the film includes performances by The Gumm Sisters and The Meglin Kiddies and additional child performers. Among the Gumm Sisters was seven-year-old Frances Gumm, who later became known as Judy Garland.
The Big Revue features a variety of song and dance numbers performed by the young cast, reflecting the vaudeville style that was popular during that time. The short film is notable as it marks the film debut of Garland, who performed alongside her sisters under their family name, Gumm.
A Vitaphone Varieties production, The Big Revue was part of Warner Bros.' initiative to integrate synchronized sound into short films, a technology that was relatively new at the time. Its release played a role in the transition from silent films to "talkies," illustrating the changing dynamics of the entertainment industry.
The Big Revue, while not widely recognized today, holds historical significance for its early use of sound technology and as the film debut of Garland, who later became a prominent figure in Hollywood.
