      The $50,000 check Mr. Reynolds writes out for the "mahogany" would equal over $700,000 in 2016.

      In the scene after the bridge game, when the girls run onto the beach in long shot, the microphone is seen coming down over the two girls speaking. It's a flash of a couple of seconds, but quite visible.
    • Quotes

      Bill: What is this mission you're talking about?

      Peggy Reynolds: My father and mother.

      Bill: Well, what's the matter with them?

      Peggy Reynolds: Oh, Bill, they're playing with fire.

      Bill: Who doesn't now days? They're just havin' some harmless fun.

      Peggy Reynolds: Harmless for us maybe, because we're young enough to know better.

      Bill: I wouldn't worry about it. They're mature!

      Peggy Reynolds: I know it. But, that's the trouble. They're too old to understand the present day technique.

      Bill: I'll say you understand it, all right.

    Tanned Legs review
    An early musical, with some modest synchronised dance moves, that points very tentatively towards the place in which the genre would find itself once Busby Berkeley grabbed hold of it. The lightweight plot is more interested in recovering incriminating love letters the sister of its young heroine wrote to her con-man lover than finding out why their parents seem so intent on bedding partners half their age.
