Watched online; very blurry.
In the Tap! Appendix for Johnny Coy, his 1st of 8 film credits; he's 5th billed here.
Performances (~start times; no chapters of course):
Although I usually dislike characters who are deliberately deceptive, I have sympathy for the rich guy being targeted by gold diggers. He twice deceives his companions: first by not identifying himself, then, especially cute: pretending to be deaf.
I like this a lot for the story and especially for the new dancer Johnny Coy. I'd like to get a decent copy, which would probably elevate this to a 7.
Paramount, dir. Lanfield; 6+
