    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The first starring film role of June Havoc, sister of Gypsy Rose Lee.
    • Goofs
      At the diner where Nifty does his solo dance, there is a hot dog sign at the beginning of the scene with a word misspelled: 'Fasinating.'
    • Quotes
      • Karanina 'Nina' Novak: Ohh, Nifty, you smell *so* good.
    • Crazy credits
      Although they have major roles, two of the four "Jacks," William Blees and Jack Briggs, do not merit onscreen credit. Even by the limited standards of the day, this is pretty awful.
