Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe title credits on the present surviving version, as well as the anachronistically more modern music behind them, were designed in the 1950s for the television release. The original material and musical accompaniment begins with the first title card, "New York was originally purchased from the Indians..."
- GoofsEarly in the film, Mons. LeMaire receives a telegram, which in close-up shows the date "June 17, 1930." In the next scene, supposedly a few days later, another character receives a telegram that's dated "June 2, 1930."
- Alternate versionsA black-and-white version of this originally Technicolor film is shown and distributed by Turner.

Featured review
I can't understand why it is rated so low, it was really a joy to watch and the characters were all so well formed, I think this film may have helped inspire some like it hot, it has brilliant, witty characters, and it's great for all the pre-code fans. It tells a tale of two ambitious gold diggers, and it's such a shame the musical numbers were cut out and the Technicolor lost, but still a very fun film, also starring the beautiful Ziegfeld girl Irene Delroy, her and Winnie contrast and their opposites attract and they make a wonderful pair. I watched this film for Winnie Lightner but I was introduced to a few other forgotten stars and they were just spectacular, they were played with a lot of charisma and quirkiness.
