It was originally intended to be released in the United States early in 1931, but was shelved due to public apathy towards musicals. Despite waiting a number of months, the public proved obstinate and Warner Bros. Pictures reluctantly released the film in December 1931 after removing all the music. Since there was no such reaction to musicals outside the United States, the film was released there as a full musical comedy in 1931. ## Credits - **Director:** [Lloyd Bacon](https://cinepixo.com/people/lloyd-bacon) - **Screenplay:** [Robert Lord](https://cinepixo.com/people/robert-lord) - **Original Music Composer:** [Harold Arlen](https://cinepixo.com/people/harold-arlen) ## Cast - [Bobby Watson](https://cinepixo.com/people/bobby-watson-2) - [Edward Van Sloan](https://cinepixo.com/people/edward-van-sloan) - [Bobby Watson](https://cinepixo.com/people/bobby-watson) - [Charles Lane](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-lane) - [Ethel Griffies](https://cinepixo.com/people/ethel-griffies) - [Dickie Moore](https://cinepixo.com/people/dickie-moore-2) - [William Irving](https://cinepixo.com/people/william-irving) - [Niles Welch](https://cinepixo.com/people/niles-welch) - [Charles Butterworth](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-butterworth) - [Charles Dale](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-dale) - [Charles Pearce Coleman](https://cinepixo.com/people/charles-pearce-coleman) - [Nat Pendleton](https://cinepixo.com/people/nat-pendleton) - [Luis Alberni](https://cinepixo.com/people/luis-alberni) - [Claire McDowell](https://cinepixo.com/people/claire-mcdowell) - [Lilian Bond](https://cinepixo.com/people/lilian-bond) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
