Quotes:
Michael 'Mike' Harvey: You're a good-lookin' girl.
Dora Swale: Ya think so?
Michael 'Mike' Harvey: You're bright...
Dora Swale: Oh, I get it. Bein' bright don't getcha nowhere--just lookin' dumb. When I first got this job, I usta go home nights and study grammar. I thought it might help me if I talked better. But after goin' out with a couple of these apes around here, I threw the grammar out the window and went in for self-defense.
Michael 'Mike' Harvey: Well, after all creation didn't stop when they made THESE gorillas. You oughta know some nice fellas that...
Dora Swale: Sure, you mean in my own class.
Michael 'Mike' Harvey: Oh well, I didn't mean...
Dora Swale: Oh, it's ok. Listen precious, it ain't much fun after workin' hard all day and goin' home nights and just goin' to bed, but it's much better than sittin' around the rest of your life listenin' to some iceman's helper yawnin' himself to sleep.
Michael 'Mike' Harvey: Yeah, I guess you got life pretty tough at that.
Dora Swale: Oh, I ain't complainin'--not as long as YOU think I'm goodlookin'.

Even for pre-Hayes code cinema, this one is particularly smutty. Not to say there's nudity or whatever, but the sexuality positively drips off the screen, and very little is said which doesn't have to do with intercourse of one sort or another. They probably had fun making this one. Highly recommended if you can find it. Thanks to the American Film Institute for their preserving this film.
