Something Different is a 1934 Australian revue by A. R. Harwood and Les Raphael.
The revue was originally conceived as a musical comedy film. Shooting began in February 1934 via Centenary Films under the direction of Harwood.
Filming halted and it was decided to trial the material as a revue, with a view to finishing the film later. The show was unsuccessful, Centenary Films went into liquidation in 1936, and the movie was never completed.
The Argus wrote "the first-night performance of the new musical comedy went with plenty of dash and sparkle. The company seemed to be inspired with a "do or the" air, and the show was carried along at a feverish tempo. The production has many good qualities-colour, movement, agreeable music, variety, and a pleasing ballet."
The Age complained about the lack of a love story.
The Bulletin wrote "the show proved unpretentiously amusing, and at the same time unexpectedly full of virtues. Frith, as a lunatic at large, carried a heavy burden lightly. Les RaphaelâÂÂs music, bright and coquettish and full of reminiscences of every composer who has ever tuned a lyre, flowed easily through an evening diversified by gay ballets and comic sketches."
The Herald called it "an ambitious, well-mounted production, with catchy ; tunes, brisk comedy, and an enthusiastic cast."
Table Talk wrote "Although "Something Different" cannot be said to reach the usual standard of musical comedy in Melbourne, it is a praiseworthy production when the fact is taken into consideration that in its entirety, it is a local effort."
