Back in the mid-1930s, MGM made several Technicolor shorts just like this one. All highlighted a variety of MGM stars and were set at a strange sort of nightclub where a wide variety of acts performed. The acts were only okay and the biggest reason to watch was to catch a glimpse of stars supposedly in their off hours. Of course, however, it was all very staged and clearly these are promotional films. Are they any good? Not really...but they are interesting for fans.
Like the other films, this one also features a star as an emcee. However, despite it being Leo Carillo, it sounded NOTHING like the movie star. I knew that his harsh Mexican was a put on...but apparently in real life he hadn't a trace of such an accent!
The film is supposedly part fashion show, part floor show. The only interesting thing about all this is that one of the models is Ann Sheridan before she was a star. And, at this odd show are LOTS of MINOR MGM stars. Oddly, the three big stars, Mary Pickford, Bing Crosby and Gary Cooper all had contracts with other studios (United Artists, Paramount and Paramount respectively).
The bottom line is that the entertainment is only passable and the stars of importance to crazed film buffs like me. Otherwise, not a lot about this stands out apart from the lovely Technicolor.
