This film was meant as a showcase for Peggy Joyce Hopkins, who was "infamously" known as a "golddigger" and "showgirl" with no decernable talent other than to marry and divorce wealthy men, thus ending each association with a healthy settlement. She is best remembered for her role playing herself in "International House" with a brief romantic entanglement involving her character with W.C. Fields. This film, though the names are changed, was really just a parody of Hopkins herself which the producers felt would turn a good profit just on the notoriety of her name. She was the model for Anita Loos' anti-heroine of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", Lorelei Lee. "I may be expensive," Peggy once remarked, apropos of the wealthy husbands she acquired and discarded so lightly, "but I deliver the goods." Very Fine/Rolled. <B>Estimate: $800-1,200</B> </FONT></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><BR><!--<a name="PricesRealized"></a> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#000000"> <tr> <td width="100%"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#79735C"> <a name="PR"> <font face="arial" size="3" color="#FFFFFF"> <b>Previous Prices from Heritage Auctions</b> </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#F6F6ED"> No Prior Data Recorded </td> </tr> <tr> <td bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <font face="arial" size="1""> PLEASE NOTE: All prices realized reflect the final hammer price PLUS the buyer's premium in auctions that charge a buyer's premium.
