Trivia:
In a 1933 press release, Clark Gable, Wallace Beery, and Buster Keaton were scheduled to film cameo appearances, while Jean Harlow and Joan Crawford were to perform musical numbers written by Rodgers & Hart ("Prayer", which later became "Blue Moon", and "Black Diamond, respectively). But none of this materialized. Crawford allegedly filmed her number, which was then cut, and was reinstated in Sadie McKee (1934), where sources say it was also deleted. more

A must for collector's of Disney, Laurel & Hardy, Tarzan, or 3 Stooges., 1 April 1999
Author: Stephen J. Bolling from San Diego, California

Jimmy Durante spoofs Johnny Weismuller's Tarzan by playing a jungle film star who throws a lavish party for his Hollywood friends (complete with Zeigfeld style musical numbers). Lupe Velez (the real life Mrs. Weismuller) spoofs Maureen O'Sullivan's "Jane" character (controversial at the time for "Jane's" skimpy outfits). Durante is annoying but Velez shines with the best bit teaming her with Laurel & Hardy. The Three Stooges appear as autograph seekers. This MGM musical features an appearance by Mickey Mouse who spoofs Durante and introduces the Disney color cartoon "Hot Chocolate Soldiers." The 70 minute plot is a mess with the parts being better than the sum, however a must for fans and collector's of the aforementioned appearances.
