Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Sadie tells Mae that the surest place to find Duffy is at "Sloppy Moe's" - that is undoubtedly a reference to the original Sloppy Joe's Bar in Old Havana, Cuba. Financially devastated by the 1959 revolution and finally closed by a fire in the 1960's, it has been restored and reopened in 2013.
- GoofsWhen Duffy comes over to Mae and Sadie's hotel room to open a bottle of beer; he ends up spraying beer on Mae's dress and staining it. But on the very next cut when Mae goes to check on Deacon, her dress is now clean and stain free.
- Quotes
Mae Knight: I was laid off for turning down a stag affair in Passaic.
Sadie Appleby: Well, I don't blame ya. We've still got a little pride left. You're not so low you have to let 'em throw pennies at ya!
Mae Knight: Throw 'em? In Passaic, they use slinghots.

Featured review
Not exactly the most honorable dames!
"Havana Widows" is a film about a couple of chorus girls (Glenda Farrell and Joan Blondell) who have trouble making ends meet. However, when an old acquaintance tells them about a scheme to trick rich millionaires into breech of promise lawsuits, the pair head to Havana...the vacation hangout of the rich and fancy back in the day. Once there, they plan on trapping some poor sap and making him pay! Not exactly a decent or honorable couple of dames, huh?!
Considering how dishonorable and larcenous the women are in this film, you do wonder if Warner Brothers would have made this movie only a year later after the toughened Production Code was adopted. Probably NOT is what I think. But it is high energy as well as entertaining! Plus, having Allen Jenkins, Frank McHugh and Guy Kibbee on hand as supporting actors definitely elevates the quality and fun of this movie.
