background
The film premiered on April 20, 1935.

Reviews
Frank S. Nugent of the New York Times found Al Jolson's presence put the film in the safe zone of musical entertainment. In his absence, the viewer's attention tends to wander. Variety , however, described the film as a generous production, energetically staged and reasonably entertaining.
Awards
At the 1936 Academy Awards , Bobby Connolly was nominated for an Oscar in the Best Dance Directing category.
