Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The spectacular 'I Only Have Eyes for You' number used hundreds of white velvet cutouts and a massive revolving platform, costing more than some entire films of the era.
Made during Hollywood's brief 'pre-Code' window (1930-1934) before censorship enforcement, when films could be genuinely risqué about sex, crime, and politics.
