흥미로운 사실

Oh, Kay! is a 1928 silent film produced by John McCormick and distributed by First National Pictures. McCormick's wife Colleen Moore starred and Mervyn LeRoy directed the film. It is based on the 1926 musical Oh, Kay!, which had music by George Gershwin, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and a book by Guy Bolton and P. G. Wodehouse.

Background

Based on the 1926 Broadway musical of the same name (several of Colleen's most successful films were based on musical comedies), the story is about the rum running Duke of Durham, forced into his occupation by circumstances beyond his control, and his sister, Lady Kay. They and their assistants—Shorty and Larry—have stashed their load of bootlegged hooch in the basement of the home of Jimmy Winters, a local playboy.

Colleen had been set to begin work on When Irish Eyes are Smiling in 1927 when she and her husband John McCormick, split from their studio, possibly over a dispute over McCormick's drinking. The planned director, comedy constructor and friend of Colleen's--Mervyn LeRoy—walked in on a telephone call between John and the Studio as he was quitting, the first sign that the production was in trouble.
