"TCM Saturday August 9 5:33AM Eastern
LET'S DO THINGS (1931), Thelma Todd & Zasu Pitts"

LET'S DO THINGS was the first film of their series, which also has the cast members of the "Boy Friends" series in it. The implication is that the Thelma Todd series was a spinoff of the Boy Friends series. - Benny Drinnon
