Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaTerry and company are depicted as arriving in France aboard the French liner SS Normandie. It entered service in 1935 and was the fastest liner across the Atlantic, only to be later surpassed by the RMS Queen Mary and finally the SS United States. She remains the most powerful steam turbo-electric passenger ship ever built. She was seized in New York City at the beginning of WW2 and had begun to be converted into a troopship when she caught fire and capsized in February 1942. All plans to return her to service failed to materialize and she was scrapped in 1946.
- GoofsWhen Mona is in LeBrec's office filling out the forms, the hand shown writing on the forms has short fingernails and no nail polish, whereas Gloria Dickson has long nails and is wearing very dark polish.

Featured review
nightclub act heads to pareee
Crooner rudy vallee, along with rosemary lane. Funny guys hugh herbert, ed brophy, and allan jenkins along for comedy. A later chapter in the gold digger films, which had begun back in the 1920s. With dance bits by busby berkeley, so we know the song and dance thangs will be big and fancy. The cast and crew from club ballé get a lucky break and accidentally enter the international competition in paris. It's all just an excuse for a bunch of vaudeville routines, with some large ensemble numbers, and a paper thin plot holding it together. Some of the comedy bits work, some don't. Singing by vallee. He even does a parody of maurice chevalier. Herbert never really does zero in on his terrible fake french accent. It's just all over the place. There's a love story. Even a divorce and alimony story. It's entertaining. Not a shakespear by any means, but light and fluffy, just before WW II. At this time, danzig was already under control of germany, but they hadn't started their large war marches yet. In may of 1940, germany would begin its large scale attack on france. Of course, this cast never left the hollywood studio. Directed by ray enright. Started directing just as the silents were becoming talkies.
