So the movie was fantastic! It really is shocking to see this movie and realize that it was made in 1933. It's incredibly racy. It's basically about a threesome-type situation with two men and one woman all being in love with each other, made for comedy. As the festival stated, this movie was included in with other movies from the "pre-code" era of Hollywood movie-making, meaning that Hollywood could make just about anything at the time and did. Then in the late 1930's, under governmental pressure, Hollywood established a code of "decency." A movie of this ilk could be made today but would obviously have to include a lot of skin, all-out sex scenes, and hot bods in order to fit into current Hollywood crap-standards.. But the theme and dialogue would be perfect for today's open sexuality and proclivity. Here's to the movie and to my favorite star Gary Cooper.
