Wissenswertes
For years the "Hot Choc'late Soldiers" animated sequence, created by Walt Disney Studios, could not be shown as part of this movie, because in 1934 Disney had licensed only movie-theatre rights and had reserved the sequence's TV rights for his own company. Finally, in 1992, Ted Turner's company, which then owned the rights to the MGM archive, settled with the Disney company and released a video version of the film containing "Hot Choc'late Soldiers". [Unfortunately, the transition scene, with Mickey Mouse at the piano in B&W and the "Hot Choc-late Soldiers" sheet music in Technicolor, was not properly reconstructed, so only the Technicolor portion of the scene is visible. NOTE: while the previous sentence may have been true in 1992, the movie now contains the B&W transition scene.]

Patzer
(at around 2 mins) When the jungle girl is fleeing the lion, her top comes loose revealing a breast.

This likely was intentional as the movie was released about a month before strict enforcement of the Production Code.

Zitate
Durante: My friends, I welcome you to my humble domicile. Tonight, let us throw all transgression to the winds and enjoy ourselves with absolute infernity!

Alternative Versionen
Older television prints of "Hollywood Party" run 63 minutes, and exclude the appearance by Mickey Mouse, as well as the Disney Technicolor cartoon "Hot Chocolate Soldiers".

"... Nobody Sleeps Tonight!"

I thought this Golden Oldie was great fun. Puzzling how it gets short shrift from IMDb reviewers, as it sustains itself throughout the 75 minutes with a consistently high level of humor and music. It is also puzzling how few people have actually seen it in comparison to the goodly number of reviews.

In any case, I love Laurel and Hardy and Charles Butterworth always adds a great deal to any picture with his befuddled 'Tom Smothers' brand of humor. The main star is old reliable Jimmy Durante doing his familiar schtick, and there are a couple of good musical numbers, especially one with Eddie Quillan and June Clyde called "I've Had My Moments", and also the title song written by Rodgers&Hart.

It is a fast-moving 75 minutes, too fast and too entertaining for such a low IMDb rating. If you're a fan of movies, especially old movies, I recommend this one. And there's no 'message' here; it's just old-fashioned entertainment, accent on the 'old-fashioned'.
