The reason that Jack's voice sounds so rough is because he had just had a throat operation for a terrible infection. He contracted this in May of 1930 while they were working on this movie. His voice ended up slightly deeper as a result, in the end. He was back to work sooner than he really should have been, too, which probably did not help his voice. I read about this in the newspaper reports of the time (1930).
Interesting how Ginger was changing not only in her image but also in her performances doing more in a easy going way. Thanks for sharing such rare document.
Adorable clip!!!!

Yes, it is pretty entertaining, but this the only musical number in it. I'd consider it one of the earliest "screwball comedies".

Thanks a lot, mais de profil elle est moins charmante que de face.
Encore merci for all these singing gems
