Unfortunately with Glenda Farrell billed second, you just know she is not going to end up with the leading man (Lyle Talbot), but be stuck, as usual with someone like Frank McHugh or worse (and believe me it is worse)!!! The movie starts off promisingly with "Presenting Iwanna Shakitoff -direct from Russia" - in other words chorus cuties in a third rate review!! When Mae (Joan Blondell) is laid off for refusing to perform at a stag party and Sadie (Glenda Farrell) is fined $5 for scratching her back, they decide to take Gladys Gable's (Noel Francis) advice and head to Havana in search of millionaires!!!
As usual sizzling Glenda is the whole show and poses the big question - where did she learn to talk so fast?? Once the girls get to Havana, the movie seems to run out of steam. The snap certainly goes out of Joan's garters as she falls for poor boy Bob Jones(Lyle Talbot), she then becomes part of just another conventional love interest. It is up to Glenda to carry the movie with her usual sparkle and she really tries her best!!!
After conning their way to Havana (Allan Jenkins is the hapless fall guy), Deacon R. Jones (Guy Kibbee) becomes the main target as the sassy sisters realise they need money fast for their hotel bill. All the wonderful Warners players are there (Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly etc) the ones that usually make the A movies worth watching but without a strong story they just seem to meander along. Mae gets her man, Sadie gets a man too, although before the "I do's" are said, she is saying "I married the wrong man"!! Ruth Donnelly ,as Mrs. Jones, has a surprise for the girls who think they are coming into a big "shakedown" with her dim-witted husband Deacon - it seems she has wanted to divorce her husband for years and through the girl's hijinks she now has grounds.
Glenda Farrell always gives her all and I agree that she and Joan are snappy sisters, but Farrell is much better (and faster talking) in films like "Girl Missing" and "The Keyhole" both from 1933. J. Carroll Naish can be spotted as a taxi driver who becomes embroiled in a fight and poor old James Murray has an uncredited part as a bank teller.
