Blooper clip. "Kay Francis and George Brent play first perfect take... at least so Director of Shorts Ralph Staub, claims... While no statement from Joe Traub, his dialogue director, can be had... due to the fact Joe has taken the afternoon off to be tattooed." blooper clip "George Brent, in those there sleeping duds, doesn't do bad either." blooper clip "What more can you expect from Donald Woods... playing opposite Irene Dunne.

Joe Breen just entered. Quick, Jimmy - start your dance music - and everybody dances."
