Wiki.
Shoot the Works is a 1934 American pre-Code comedy film directed by Wesley Ruggles and written by Claude Binyon, Gene Fowler, Howard J. Green and Ben Hecht. It is based on the Gene Fowler and Harold Hecht 1932 play The Great Magoo (and not, despite the title, the 1931 musical revue Shoot the Works). The film stars Jack Oakie, Ben Bernie, Dorothy Dell, Alison Skipworth, Roscoe Karns, Arline Judge and William Frawley. It was released on June 29, 1934 by Paramount Pictures, just before rigorous enforcement of the Hollywood Production Code that began on July 1, 1934.
The final film for Dorothy Dell and Lew Cody, both of whom were deceased by the time of the film's release.
