When sets and costumes are confiscated from a play due to lack of paying the bills three show girls, Carol, Polly and Trixie, are left without anything to do. They hear that a new show is being produced by the same producer and he promises to hire them when he finds a backer. Polly's boyfriend, Brad Roberts, gets hired to write the music for the play and puts up the money.
When Brad's brother finds out he's dating a show girl, he and his lawyer head to New York to put an end to his relationship. They show up at the girls' apartment and mistake Carol for Polly. Soon Carol and Trixie are taking Brad's brother and lawyer, who increasingly fall for the girls, for a ride.
A really great film that is extremely well made. Most movies from the 30s, especially the early 30s, have technical flaws because film is still pretty new and a lot of filming and editing techniques haven't been invented yet. This film stands out as the editing is great (no jump cuts or weird fade outs) and the musical numbers are especially well directed.
The second half of the film was more interesting to me, with the brother and lawyer falling in love with Polly's roommates. There were some great comedic moments. The first half is a bit more song heavy.
The musical numbers are good and look amazing. The raunchy song heavy petting was my favorite and featured some very suggestive moments. There's another great number featuring neon violins, which is pretty cool and way before Revenge of the Nerds did it.
Very much worth watching and some pretty risque material making this a must see for film history fans. This is a pre-Hays Code film.

9/10
