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
Death of the party...
.... is a more apt title as the characters in this film would either kill a room with boredom or have people fleeing the scene in droves in utter irritation at the belligerence of these people. There is nothing funny about Winnie Lightner (Flo) and there is nothing interesting about Irene Delroy (Dot) who play the two girls out to grab a millionaire. We have another unfunny comedy character who is supposed to be a French designer - step forward Charles Judels (LeMaire). There is nothing French about him and nothing realistic about his overacting. His comic partner calling out "Yoo hoo" becomes painful to watch. As does the whole film and I couldn't watch to the end. No need to.
We also get a fashion show with giant transvestites modelling clothes with way too much material - another unintentional misfire. The sets are good but when the funniest thing about a comedy is when the film's dialogue goes out of synch with the character's lip movements, then we are obviously in trouble. That would normally annoy me but when my version of the film did this it became a point of interest! This film is awful.
