"Count me in. This slam-bang, snap-crackle-pop picture is a doozy, never pausing for breath as it zips along its nifty, irreverent way, superbly cast so as to let everyone do what he/she does best. As if its entertainment value were not enough, it has something to say, so cleverly that it mocks itself along with a half-dozen other victims.

The film was unofficially a spoof on the life of Clara Bow, Holllywood's original "It Girl." The film's character Lola Burns mirrors Clara Bow, as Pops Burns does Robert Bow (her father), Mac does Daisy DeVoe (her secretary), Gifford Middleton does Rex Bell (her husband), and E. J. Hanlon does B.P. Schulberg (a producer at Paramount). Victor Fleming, the director, was Bow's fiancée in 1926.
