Where 'The Boyfriends' focused on the romantic mishaps of clueless young men, 'Blondes and Redheads' followed the adventures of two sexy working girls trying to make their way in the big city. RKO hired Roach director George Stevens to helm the series. The 'Blonde' in all 11 shorts was Carol Tevis, while the 'Redhead' was initially June Brewster. After 6 shorts, she was replaced by Dorothy Granger, who had been a 'Boyfriends' regular. Stevens left the series for features in early 1935, eventually making amazing pictures like \u003ci\u003eGunga Din\u003c\/i\u003e (1939), \u003ci\u003ePenny Serenade\u003c\/i\u003e (1941), \u003ci\u003eShane\u003c\/i\u003e (1953), \u003ci\u003eThe Diary of Anne Frank\u003c\/i\u003e (1959) and \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Story Ever Told\u003c\/i\u003e (1965). He would be awarded an Oscar for both \u003ci\u003eA Place in the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e (1951) and \u003ci\u003eGiant\u003c\/i\u003e (1956). 'Blondes and Redheads' continued with entries directed by Sam White, later a successful TV producer. But without Stevens's gorgeous compositions and deft touch with actors, the series floundered. The last short, \u003ci\u003ePickled Peppers\u003c\/i\u003e, screened in theatres in June of 1935. \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e FLIRTING IN THE PARK: \u003c\/b\u003e An outing in the park goes sour when the girls' boyfriends lose their shirts in a boat race -- and Carol loses her dress!
