Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of Hal Roach's 'Thelma Todd and Patsy Kelly' series, made during the brief 1930-1934 window before the Production Code clamped down on 'immoral' comedy.
Todd's mysterious 1935 death (carbon monoxide in a garage) shadows her comedic legacy; this was among her final completed films.
