I Surrender Dear is a 1931 musical comedy starring Bing Crosby as a lovestruck singer named Bing Crosby. Directed by Mack Sennett, the film tells the story of Bing's pursuit of a beautiful woman named Betty, played by Thelma Todd. The two meet at a fancy party and Bing immediately falls head over heels for Betty, but she proves to be a tough nut to crack.
The film is a classic example of the screwball comedy genre, with plenty of slapstick and physical humor. Bing sings several songs throughout the movie, including the titular "I Surrender Dear," which was one of his biggest hits at the time.
Despite its short runtime of only two reels, I Surrender Dear packs in plenty of laughs and romance. The chemistry between Bing and Thelma Todd is palpable, and their scenes together practically sizzle with romantic tension.
Overall, I Surrender Dear is a delightful little film that showcases Bing Crosby's talent as both a singer and an actor. With its catchy songs and hilarious gags, it's no wonder that the movie was such a hit with audiences at the time.
