Hips, Hips, Hooray!
Hips, Hips, Hooray is a 1934 slapstick comedy film starring Bert Wheeler, Robert Woolsey, Ruth Etting, Thelma Todd, and Dorothy Lee. During its initial theatrical run, it was preceded by the twocolor Technicolor short Not Tonight, Josephine, directed by Edward F. Cline.
A romantic subplot involving Ruth Etting was planned, but removed from the finished film. Despite being thirdbilled, in the finished film, Etting only has one scene.The New York Times gave Hips, Hips, Hooray an unenthusiastic review, stating that it featured three reasonably hilarious gags and perhaps fifty more that depend on whether you are for or against the exvaudeville clowns to begin with. Alternately, the Prescott Evening Courier described it as smartly and enthusiastically insane... surpassing all Wheeler and Woolseys previous efforts. An Australian reviewer for The Age, felt that it proved a fairly generouslyendowed medley of eccentric dancing, buffoonery and burlesque and that it provoked much merriment from its audience. ........
