Storyline
Did you know
- Goofs(at around 59 mins) Many people pay $25 each for tickets to the charity musical; the money being paid is clearly in pesos. In fact, each of the top bills states 'Vente Pesos' and obviously are not American bills. Yet, all the dialog refers to 'dollars', and there is no indication that the resort at Lake Waxapahachie is anything but an American resort.

Featured review
1930s Kitsch
Caught this one on TCM the other night.
Good music, lots of beautiful girls and an inane plot, humorously acted out by a talented cast. What more could anyone ask for? This is what the "movies" were all about when life outside the theater was in the middle of the Great Depression. You might be making 25 bucks a week and probably forked over a quarter to see this picture. For your money you were able to forget your troubles as you watched the Busby Berkeley dance numbers and listened to the tunes of Harry Warren and Al Dubin. Not a bad deal then and still enjoyable now on cable, video or DVD.
It seems to me that the actors of that era had more talent than most of those plying the craft these days. I also like the cast introductions, common to the era, showing a brief moment from the film, portraying the introduced in a flattering way. Style and class unfortunately seem to be in short supply in most films of the present era which has become much more concerned with finding new ways to shock or offend us as they happily take our money (9 bucks?).
Sure, there were better examples of the 1930s musical genre but this one really ain't all that bad. You could do worse than sit down and watch.
