Interesting facts

Follow Thru is a 1930 American pre-Code musical romantic comedy film photographed entirely in Technicolor. It was the second all-color, all-talking feature to be produced by Paramount Pictures. The film was based on the hit 1929 Broadway musical of the same name by Lew Brown, B. G. DeSylva, Ray Henderson and Laurence Schwab. The musical ran a total of 401 performances from January 9, 1929, to December 21, 1929. Jack Haley, Zelma O'Neal and Don Tomkins, who starred in the Broadway production, reprised their roles in the film version.

Production

The film was shot in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. The extras who appear in golf course scenes had to be coached with regard to golf etiquette (when to applaud a strike, etc.). About two hundred extras were used for the climactic golf championship sequence.
