While I wouldn’t rate The Reluctant Debutante up there with Minnelli’s best, it’s absolutely worth watching for Kay Kendall’s performance alone.

New Shoes (Sammy Lee 1936)
Two pairs of singing shoes fall in love at the same time as their owners in this cute MGM musical short. We get the requisite collection of dad joke puns (“Hold your tongue,” &c) and a nice song that gets sung several times, including once over the telephone, with the soundtrack going scratchy and tinny to match. But most importantly, we learn why new shoes always hurt: they do it out of revenge for us treating them so roughly when we’re first trying them out!

It's curious that they don't specify the resolution of the latter's scan/restoration - are the elements known to be in poor condition?
