Trivia
By the insignia on his uniform, Kewpie is a Gunner's Mate First Class and has been in the Navy at least 12 years.

Tom Foster is a Gunnery Sergeant and has been in the Marine Corps at least 12 years.

Goofs
Freytag brings what appears to be three books into the meeting at the beginning of the film. Later, it's revealed the "books" are actually a box with decanters and filled shot glasses. However, the way he carried the box into the room would have meant all the shot glasses would have been spilled.

Quotes
Landlady: Sorry for protruding, Mr. Wiggins, but you're wanted on the phone.

amusing, starring two favorites

Two young women running a ring toss in a carnival work on entering a contest so they can get back to New York in Miss Pacific Fleet (1935).

The two women are Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell, and they need money so they can return to New York and get chorus work. They decide that Gloria (Blondell) will enter to win $2500 and a trip to New York for two. But they have to get the votes.

Amusing comedy. I'm always amazed and how quickly people talked on screen in those days.

This film was made during the Depression, something to take peoples' minds of off their troubles.

Joan Blondell and Glenda Farrell are great as always, and made several films together. Hugh Herbert plays a businessman always trying to get away from his wife. The film also features the usual suspects - Allen Jenkins, Minna Gombell, and Guinn Williams, with good-looking Warren Hull as Gloria's boyfriend.

Cute, light, an artifact of another time.
