Need help locating this scene
I'm looking to find a film that's been stuck in my memory since childhood. As best as I can recall the film was made in the late 30's or early 40's. The plot was a love triangle between an American man, his blonde fiance, and a Latin female who steals the attention of the man from the blonde. In the critical scene, the Latin does a musical number and at the conclusion has a confrontation with the blonde. The Latin says something like "I'll never give him up!" and turns to walk away. She's wearing a floor length evening gown. The blonde sees her chance and steps on the trailing hem of the gown. The back of the gown rips out nearly to the waist revealing alot of leg. The Latin keeps walking and breaks in to a trot a she leaves the scene. Her distress is noted by several male onlookers who chuckle at her situation.
The scene may have been on board ship, but I am not certain. This is from a single viewing close to 50 years ago and has stuck in my head like the scene from "Beginner's Luck". "Beginner's Luck" is readily available, as we all know. At one time I thought this was from the "Mexican Spitfire" series of films, but research has shown that to be incorrect.
Anyone have any ideas? Am I wrong about the "Spitfire" series and I just haven't found the right installment? For me this is the Holy Grail. Any help is appreciated.
