Wissenswertes
During the song "Keep On Doing What You're Doing", Dorothy Lee is dropped on her back. Although she carries on, and finishes the number, the injury to her spine left her in pain for the rest of her life.

Patzer
During the "Keep On Doing What You're Doing" number Thelma Todd loses the bottom two buttons from her dress. One can be seen flying off before she goes out to the balcony. The other is lost outside. She starts the dance with one button centered at the top and six down the side. As the dance ends, there are only four left on the side.

Zitate
Miss Frisby: Two minds and a single thought.
Dr. Dudley: Yes, it's about all they can handle at one time.

Another little gem from the mad 30s boys of RKO as this frenetically paced oddity takes us from flavoured lipsticks to a mad Keystone-like car race in the space of just over an hour. Alongside cigar-chomping Woolsey and irritating little Wheeler we have Dorothy Lee (as per usual) and Thelma Todd playing the cutie romantic interest parts, and a short song right at the beginning from third-billed Ruth Etting (in a rather fetching hat).

Best sequences in this one - "Just Keep On Doin' What You're Doin'", really funny - the whole car race sequence, and the bevy of cuties with flavoured lipsticks ("we've got to guess what flavour" - oh, sure ...). I bet the set cleaners at RKO were knee-deep in bananas by the end of the shoot though :)
