Fun pre-Code film
5 July 2023
Fast-moving and fun! Two Olympic athletes (Buster Crabbe, an unrecognizable Ida Lupino) are bought in to run a health and beauty magazine. They fall in love quickly. They also find out the owners of the magazine are going to turn it into a "skin" rag. They have to battle them and keep their love alive.

Made just before the Production Code came into effect this movie is full of sexual innuendo and even some male nudity in a locker room sequence! Also there are plenty of handsome muscular guys walking around in tight bathing trunks and girls wearing very form-fitting suits. There's also a huge production number with them. Crabbe and Lupino are both very attractive and good in their roles. This doesn't pop up often on TV (for obvious reasons) but it's worth catching if you can.
