Anecdotes
This film is a revised version of a 1930 film of the same title which is now lost. It was based on a 1924 stage musical that itself was completely revised from the first version that flopped on the road in 1923. Producer Harry Frazee gutted the original, put in mostly new songs and had a hit in Chicago. The two songs that became hit tunes were brand new - "I Want to Be Happy" and "Tea for Two." The original source of all of this was a farcical Broadway play of 1919, called "My Lady Friends," by Frank Mandel.

Gaffes
When Jimmy Smith boards the plane to Reno, he tells the stewardess his destination is the Virgin Islands. She tells him he will need to change planes in Los Angeles. Apparently the writer thought the Virgin Islands are in the Pacific.

Too Frantic

Looks like RKO was showcasing lead actress Neagle. She's in almost every frame, trying hard, all bounce and giggles as aging ingenue Nanette. Trouble is she may be trying too hard without let-up. Then too, the airy farce is itself trying too hard, almost frantic in its machine gun editing and pacing. Too much spark speeds by without time to digest or to maybe even enjoy. The rapid-fire also undercuts a good chance to dig into a stellar cast of supporing players, like Pitts, Arden, and Gilbert. Nonetheless, there are compensations, such as occasional snappy dialogue, women's hat stabbers, and a sexy character named Sonyabich (How'd they get that one by the censors). Anyway, had the pacing slowed without trying to crowd in so much, along with more and better musical numbers, the musical farce might have scored, instead of speeding its way into movieland obscurity.
