Wissenswertes
Although originally released in 2-strip Technicolor, the film only survives in black and white. The narrower surviving sound on film version is apparently the sole source of today's television prints, resulting in a loss of image on the left hand side which becomes all too apparent in the lop-sided musical numbers and cropped newspaper headline inserts.

Patzer
A poster advertises the opera Carmen by Bellini. Carmen is actually by Bizet.

Zitate
Mme. Cecile: [Finding her employee, Fifi, smooching with Legionnaire Paul] Fifi! So this is the way you waste your time - canoodling!
Paul de St. Cyr: [Paul and Fifi get up, looking guilty] Don't blame Fifi, madame. It's my fault.
Mme. Cecile: Don't tell me what to do, you... you canoodler! Come, Fifi.

For Operetta and Frank McHugh Fans Only

In this operetta, Walter Pigeon (who wasn't young, even in 1931) and Edward Everett Horton (!!) are two soldiers in love. Walter loves a shop-girl (who sings a lot). Edward loves Walter's arranged fiancée. Walt loses his girl, because papa writes her a check, and she uses it (after appropriate soul searching) to launch her opera career. Edward's in danger of losing her girl because the arranged marriage is going forward. Will true love triumph?

The musical numbers are OK, though sung in an operatic style that some may like, but most moviegoers now hate. The staging is very static. As for plot and acting -- nothing very good or very bad. Because Edward Everett Horton has a role outside of his usual range, he's subdued and seems a bit uncomfortable.

The bright spot here is Frank McHugh as the Brooklyn accented "Francois", who gets a comic number to himself in the opening reels. He shouts more than sings, but it's decent Broadway style singing. He also, in the same number, gets to parade about in drag. This is quite funny, and if you're in the right mood, worth seeing. His role, however, is entirely peripheral to the plot, and his speaking style is wackily out of place.
