Super-zippy pre-Code comedy about the world's most unscrupulous PR man (Lee Tracy) and his relationship with showgirl, the barely-clad Lupe Velez, and associate Eugene Pallette. With Franklin Pangborn, Frank Morgan.
Has hilarious episodes e.g. copies of incriminating photo, and fast and funny dialogue e.g.
Bates: "Yes, she bathes in champagne. If you don't believe me ask her plumber. (Hangs up.)
No one believes anything any more."
Secretary: "Who could doubt a man of your veracity?"
Bates: "There's no need to use bad language."
So old it's a Radio Picture (before the Keith and Orpheum kicked in.)
Shot by Burt Glennon.
