Flirtation Walk is a 1934 American romantic musical film written by Delmer Daves and Lou Edelman and directed by Frank Borzage. The film's title refers to a path near the Trophy Point scenic overlook in West Point, New York named Flirtation Walk, where cadets often take dance dates for some time alone.

Production

Much of the film was shot on location at West Point. Bobby Connolly began to film the Hawaiian number on July 3, 1934, and was scheduled to finish on July 10. The set was the largest ever built at Warner Bros. Pictures. Following completion of the number, Connolly started the military wedding number using more than 400 dancers.

The success of the film led Warner Bros. to combine Powell, Keeler, Alexander and Arledge again with Borzage and Daves with similar plot and characters for Shipmates Forever, a film about the United States Naval Academy, the following year.
