Production
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 as well as 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.
