Trivia:
The lead role was intended for 'Lanny Ross' , but Bing Crosby was cast because he was the more popular star instead. In fact, the songs were also selected especially for Lanny Ross, even though Bing Crosby sings them in the final film. more

Almost perfect movie., 18 August 2000
9/10
Author: (gailnjimlein@ndak.net) from minot,nd,usa

One of my all-time favorite films: W.C. comedy, handsome young Bing singing great Rogers and Hart music, lovely young Joan Bennett, good story line, tight construction, flat-out entertaining. Only a few 1935 racist asides from W.C. mars an otherwise perfect picture.
