International House (1933) is a comedy film, directed by A. Edward Sutherland and released by Paramount Pictures. The tagline of the film was "the Grand Hotel of comedy".

Pre-Code elements

The film was produced before the Production Code took effect in July 1934, and is notable for the kind of risqué humor associated with Pre-Code Hollywood.

  • In Cab Calloway's song "Reefer Man," moreover, bass player Al Morgan performs as if in a trance and Calloway sings about him being "high on reefers."
  • When Fields lands in Wu Hu, he asks where is is. Hopkins says "Woo Hoo", Fields says "Where?", and Pangborn says "Wooo Hooo!" in an exaggeratedly gay fashion. Fields replies, in a disgusted fashion, "Don't let the posy fool you" as he throws his boutonniere away.
