The Half-Naked Truth (1932) is a pre-Hayes Code comedy directed by Gregory LaCava and featuring Lee Tracy as a carnival pitchman who finagles his "client", a fiery hoochie dancer played by Lupe Velez, into a major Broadway revue under the auspices of an impresario portrayed by Frank Morgan.

A barker at a down-at-the-heels carnival becomes a powerhouse New York publicity man as he transforms a sideshow dancer into a Broadway sensation. Written by David S. Smith
