I have read that the Production Code Administration under Hays was established in 1930, but didn't start to enforce its guidelines (i.e., censorship) till 1934. So Professional Sweetheart (1933) got in under the wire ... and it really shows!! I think it's a delightful movie, and Ginger sure looks great! She's the lead, and there is plenty of her to look at!

Gingers maid Theresa Harris looked beautiful too. And sang better than her..and danced the shimmy so much better after all it originated from a black woman.
