Plot

Lawrence (Pat O'Brien), critic and full-time boozer, comes to the cabaret In Caliente in Mexico to distance from Clara (Glenda Farrell), a woman who wishes to marry him. Lawrence falls in love with the beautiful Mexican dancer Rita Gómez (Dolores del Río), forgetting that he once wrote a scathing review of her. The film was set at the lavish Agua Caliente Casino and Hotel in Tijuana, Mexico. The resort hotel featured alcoholic beverages during Prohibition in the United States live entertainment, and casino gambling that attracted top Hollywood celebrities.[2] Elaborate dance numbers choreographed by Busby Berkeley, including the hit song "The Lady In Red," were a major component of the musical film.
