7/10

Underrated comedy with a wonderful Anita Loos script

Pleasant precode golddigger comedy with both Marion Davies and Billie Dove becoming kept women as well as Follies dancers to get a taste of the good life.

Includes Marion Davies's parody of Greta Garbo with Jimmy Durante.

Trivia
Final film of Billie Dove. She retired after this film both to raise a family and in anger at the "behind-the-scenes" interference from William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies' lover and the producer of the film. Dove appeared in a small part 30 years later in Le seigneur d'Hawaï (1962), but her scene was eventually cut from the film before its release.

Goofs
The age of an actress or actor playing a screen age may be a matter of opinion to a viewer, but can NEVER be a 'goof' ... it all depends on how they carry it off, of course. Marion Davies did fine here (as did Billie Dove, who didn't get criticized for the same age gap?)

Quotes
Lottie: Are you stuck on anyone?
Blondie: Oh, I can't get a kick outta any hicks I bump into after seeing how a real young man acts.
Lottie: Oh and how do you know how a real gentleman acts?
Blondie: In the movies! I go to them all the time.
