‘Legendary Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld agreed to lend his name as "supervisor" of this Paramount musical about an ambitious showgirl (Mary Eaton) who sacrifices happiness in pursuit of her dreams of becoming a Follies star. The production numbers, with their scantily clad showgirls … were shot in two-colour Technicolor.’ Mimi Brody, UCLA Film and Television Archive
