Notes
From original inventory: David O. Selznick, DirectorDavid Selznick made this film for quick cash at the height of the Valentino craze and there are a lot more shots of Mr. Valentino than of the 88 women in this beauty pageant. Yes, that's what it is, a beauty pageant, with title cards that are meant to be witty, but come off sounding insane. This was the era of ballyhoo, after all, when you could become world famous for sitting on a flagpole. Not at all like our sober age. So you have Valentino, 88 pretty girls and New York City. What more could you want?^-- TJL 11/19/2013
