Warner Bros. Pictures filmed it simultaneously in 35mm and in a widescreen process called Vitascope, but it is uncertain whether the Vitascope version was ever released. The film was planned as a full-scale musical comedy, but most of the musical numbers were cut out before general release in the United States, because the public had grown tired of musicals by late 1930. This accounts for the short length of the film. The complete film was released intact in other countries where audiences still appreciated musicals. It is unknown whether a copy of the full version still exists. ## Credits - **Director:** [Michael Curtiz](https://cinepixo.com/people/michael-curtiz) - **Screenplay:** [Arthur Caesar](https://cinepixo.com/people/arthur-caesar) - **Director of Photography:** [Barney McGill](https://cinepixo.com/people/barney-mcgill) ## Cast - [Fred Kohler](https://cinepixo.com/people/fred-kohler) - [William Irving](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-irving) - [Jean Hersholt](https://cinepixo.com/people/jean-hersholt) - [Andy Devine](https://cinepixo.com/people/andy-devine) - [Frank Mills](https://cinepixo.com/people/frank-mills) - [Lee Moran](https://cinepixo.com/people/lee-moran) - [Noah Beery, Sr.](https://cinepixo.com/people/noah-beery-sr) - [Ben Lyon](https://cinepixo.com/people/ben-lyon) - [Harry Langdon](https://cinepixo.com/people/harry-langdon) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
