What happens
Hit the Deck is a 1930 American pre-Code musical film directed by Luther Reed and starring Jack Oakie and 1923 Miss America runner-up Heather Eulalie "Polly" Walker, with Technicolor sequences. It was based on the 1927 musical Hit the Deck, which was itself based on the 1922 play Shore Leave by Hubert Osborne. It was one of the most expensive productions of RKO Radio Pictures up to that time, and one of the most expensive productions of 1930. This version faithfully reproduced the stage version of the musical. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
