Plot

George Magnus, John Bruce and their publicity agent, Peter Mathews, attempt to make a new picture, Beauties on Parade, but halfway through filming, their backer goes bankrupt.

Cast

"Hardly living up to the excellence of its title and exploitation possibilities, ‘Redheads on Parade’ is relegated to subsequent-run assignments by its weak and unexciting story... Interwoven with this is the love story affecting Boles and Dixie Lee, extremely muddled and placing Mrs. Bing almost solely in the role of a good listener except for a couple of songs... Picture doesn't contain an outstanding performance or moment, though each member of the cast contributes his best."
