Leathernecking (1930) is an American Pre-Code musical comedy film directed by Edward F. Cline, from a screenplay by Alfred Jackson and Jane Murfin, adapted from the Broadway musical comedy Present Arms, by Richard Rodgers, Lorenz Hart and Herbert Fields.

Although based on a musical, it used only two of the original Rodgers and Hart songs from the Broadway hit, along with original songs, including three by Oscar Levant and Sidney Clare. An early part-color feature film with a Technicolor insert, this film was Irene Dunne's film debut, although no copies of it are thought to exist.

Synopsis

Chick Evans is a Marine private in Honolulu, Hawaii. He falls for society girl Delphine Witherspoon, and begins to scheme as to how to win her over. His first plan involves impersonating an officer in order to get invited to a society party. However, when his Marine buddies decide to crash the party as well, his real rank is revealed, and so having the opposite effect on Delphine as he had planned.

Entertainer Lon Prentice initially is keen to enlist in the US Army but is prevented from this due to his having one flat foot. After having the flat fixed, he is accepted for enlistment. Soon after basic training begins, Private Prentice informs his commanding officer that he finds most military training useless, unnecessary and beneath him. His commander orders all the men that Private Prentice is exempt from doing things he doesn't want to do, which turns the entire camp against him.

Introduction : Après une première scène où nous voyons W. C. Fields déambuler sous un panneau publicitaire vantant son dernier film puis dans un pub, nous assistons à une séance de répétition très tourmentée au sein des studios "Ésotériques" impliquant Gloria Jean, la nièce de W. C. Fields et Franklin Pangborn le producteur. Ensuite, W. C. Fields vient présenter à Franklin Pangborn le scénario de son prochain film. Nous avons alors, à la lecture du scénario, un film dans le film puisque celui-ci est interprété au fur et à mesure que le producteur le découvre.

La comédie et le film traitent, sur un mode burlesque, des us et coutumes des milieux du spectacle, du théâtre et du cinéma. Ole (Ole Olsen) et Chic (Chic Johnson) ont entrepris de tourner un film mais le producteur impose un coscénariste, Jeff. Ce dernier est amoureux de Kitty, future très riche héritière convoitée par Woody, un jeune homme fortuné. Parallèlement, Betty, la sœur de Chic, s'est éprise d'un prétendu aristocrate russe, un soi-disant comte qui est en fait un vrai prince russe mais se fait passer pour un aventurier. Quimby, un détective, vient se mêler aux divers quiproquos et en provoquer.
