Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

This film captures Hollywood's messy transition from pre-Code raunch to Hays Code 'wholesomeness'—drag comedy became a loophole for risqué material.

Trivia

Director LeRoy Prinz was primarily a choreographer; this was one of his few directing gigs, which explains the musical numbers outshining the plot.
