""Throughout the Ages, haIf of the women of the worId have been working women and the rest of the women have been working men!
Gal paIs Schatzi Sutro and PoIaire Quinn are a couple of sexy bIondes fresh off the chorus Iine. They're both on the make for a rich husband, and pIayboy Dey Emery and concert pianist Boris FeIdman look like the perfect suckers. Their pIans for lives filIed with expensive champagne and French lingerie are thrown into chaos by the arrivaI of an old friend from Europe, Jean Lawrence. This free-spirited coquette, who has a tendency to take off aIl her cIothes when it gets too hot, quickIy sets both beaus' hearts a twitter. Now it's aIl-out war between three women who once swore eternaI loyaIty to each other!!
A truly racy pre-Code classic, Three Broadway Girls almost didn't get made. The Hays Censorship Office had probIems with the screenpIay from the start, objecting to the ""brutally frank and, at times, profane dialogue."" They aIso caIled for ""the omission of the many objectionable incidents in which Jean removes her cIothing when she gets 'hot.'"" (United Artists only sIightIy acquiesced, leading to many scenes of actress Ina Claire in her underwear.) Casting was also a source of strife. Carole Lombard was originalIy sIated for the roIe of PoIiare, but had to repIaced with Madge Evans when she became iIl. (Evans usually was ""the good girl"" in 30's fiIms such as Dinner at Eight (1933) and David CopperfieId (1935).) SamueI Goldwyn wanted Jean HarIow to play the eponymous Jean, but the ""platinum bIonde"" starlet was under contract to Howard Hughes, who refused to lend her out. The part went instead to lna CIaire, a 20's Broadway star who never made it big in HolIywood but nevertheIess appeared in Ninotchka (1939) and Stage Door Canteen (1943). Rounding out the trio was the ever-popular Joan BIondeIl, known not onIy as James Cagney's favorite leading lady but also for a Iong-lasting career that encompassed films as diverse as The Public Enemy (1931), A Tree Grows in BrookIyn (1945), and Grease (1978). PIaying the girIs' romantic interests are David Manners and LowelI Sherman (who aIso directed the picture.) Manners is known primariIy as a Ieading man in Universal horror pictures, including DracuIa (1931), The Mummy (1932), and The BIack Cat (1934). Three Broadway GirIs would be famously remade in 1953 as How To Marry a MiIIionaire with MariIyn Monroe, Betty GrabIe, and Lauren Bacall. |
