It's pretty sweet. Even though it was a pre-Code, it was still censored by the studio before it was released. Not that long ago, a bunch of librarians (W00t librarians!) found random footage in an archive and realized that, holy crap, it was the pre-release, pre-censorship footage, which everyone thought had been destroyed 70 years ago. So the version that TCM has now on the "Forbidden Hollywood" set is this restored ed, which is even more racy and dark than the first version released.
I got to see it in a local theater and it was amazing. :-D
