Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released mere months before strict Production Code enforcement, this is a time capsule of Hollywood's brief, wild adolescence. The 'gold digger' trope here is played almost sympathetically.
This was Bing Crosby's fifth film in two years—Paramount was desperately trying to make him happen before he fully broke through with 'The Big Broadcast.'
