Note at 1:45, the girls' nipples are clearly visible through their filmy shirts. This is obviously pre-Code Hollywood! The "fakeness" of this is actually quite charming and fun, and quite well-faked for those low-tech times. I love it!!!
How come some idiot ain't screaming "photoshopped" on this one! Huh? Photoshop's been done since photography & filming were invented. Yeah some were real stunts & some not. Laurel & Hardy did all their own stunts including hanging off a flagpole on a tall building. It's a fun film & I'm sure it was part of the fun of going to the movies back in the day before TV & internet.
Please, lighten up. It's 1930's, Big Musical Extravaganzas, choreographed w/ casts of thousands of real people, aereal acrobatics was new, daring & admired,
Besides it was all done and filmed inside a large Hollywood studio with background projections. The parachute scene done with miniature models. It's all entertainment!
I don't even want to ask you about the "dangerous" real helicopter on stage in Ms.Saigon
with 2.000+ people in attendance every night for months.
:D It's really awesome because my great-grandmother is one of the women in this clip!

It's easy to be distracted by the visuals, but the music is also fantastic, just summing up the spirit of '30s musicals.
