The reason she quickly says "tummy" instead of "belly" was this: there were already rumblings about what was considered suggestive in the movies, even before the Hays Code went into full effect. For some strange reason, "belly" was considered a vulgar word. Busby Berkeley staged it this way on purpose; the exxagerated ommission of the rhyming word "belly" was his way of telling the high-minded moralists "For crying out loud...GET A LIFE !!!!".

Love all the Reno references in these films from the thirties. It was the easiest way to get a divorce, but you had to go there and stay for six weeks!

Love how they're together at the back of the train and then it opens to separate them and they're now at opposite ends and have to go through different cars to meet up again. Great staging!
Wow! The Negro porter is so dark all I could see were his teeth when he smiled. I wonder what he's doing these days??

@RetroTony1959 In the era that this was made, and before, "those" type of scenes were called "Eye-balls & Teeth" scenes...Mr. Stepin Fetchit ( Lincoln Theodore Monroe Andrew Perry) became a millionaire because of them.

@bettiep In the next life, I plan to marry Ruby Keeler...if that's impossible, then Stacy Keebler!...IF my wife and The Lord agrees, i.e., I'm banking on polygamy being "kosher" then.

Am I the only one who loves the part with the snarky divorcees?

@LaBruxinha One has to wonder if they spend all their free time going back-&-forth on this train, making fun of the newly-weds. Their snide remarks, on the way back from The Fall (after Consummation) must prove to be especially pointed!
