- Quotes
Curly Flagg: Can I play the part? What's it like?
Gus McNeal: Well, you're dancing in a nightclub. A gangster comes after you. Somebody like, er, George Raft.
Curly Flagg: Swell!
Gus McNeal: He tries to make love to you but you fight him off.
Curly Flagg: Comedy, huh?
Gus McNeal: Oh, no, no, no. This is serious. You are a pure, sweet girl.
Curly Flagg: Yeah?
Gus McNeal: Yeah. But some instinct tells you what he wants so you fight him off. He tears part of your clothes off. And you stand there before him half-clothed.
Curly Flagg: Swell!
Gus McNeal: Now then, your brother comes in just in time and shoots him. You run away so you won't have to appear as a witness against your brother and a college boy finds you and hides you.
Curly Flagg: Say, that's a co-incidence.
Gus McNeal: Yeah, isn't it? Well, you and the boy fall in love with each other. But his father, a fanatic, accuses you of being a bad girl. You convince the father that you are pure so he tries to get you. He tears your clothes off.
Curly Flagg: Yay!
Gus McNeal: This time, the son rescues you. And marries you.
Curly Flagg: Then he tears my clothes off?
Gus McNeal: That is an idea.

Lyrics by Mack Gordon
Sung and danced by Miriam Hopkins
She Loves Me Not isn't the cutest movie in the world, and it wasn't half as cute as I thought it was going to be. It's always fun to see Miriam Hopkins early in her career, prancing around in her underwear, but most of the plot and gags rely on the audience being too stunned by her near-nudity to pay attention to anything else. For example, she sits Bing Crosby down and gives him a 1934 version of a lap dance, and all he does is scold her and run out of the room. The screenwriters could have given him so many funny jokes during that scene!
Also, Miriam's character is very clearly written to be a nightclub floozie who has no shot at getting the guy. Bing serenades Kitty Carlisle with "Love in Bloom" and never really looks twice at Miriam; therefore, there's no tension in the plot. So, unless you want to see Miriam Hopkins in her underwear, you don't have to watch this one. There are plenty of other movies where you can catch her in her skivvies, or less.
