Pre-Code Oddity
11 June 2003
Warning: Spoilers
If you're into the sometimes just-plain-weird pre-code humor, this is a short for you. (And if you don't know what I'm talking about but get a chance to see it, do so...just to see what Hollywood was capable of in 1930.)

What follows isn't really a spoiler, but I sort of liked not knowing what it was all about when I saw it...good surprises.

Anyway, the son of department store owner replaces the regular sales girls with chorus girls...and song and dance wackiness ensues!!! Wives can now check their husbands (like they would their hat) to shop husband-free, which leads to a fantastic song and dance between the chorus girls and the men. And the new indoor sport is putting the best female shoppers in the ring to go after that one great sale item. Yea, it's sexist, and it's sexy innuendo all they way, and nothing like would ever be seen again once The Hayes Office came along.
