They Learned About Women is a 1930 American Pre-Code sports drama musical film with a Technicolor sequence. The "Harlem Madness" number was filmed separately in Technicolor (under the direction of Sammy Lee) and inserted into the film. Though this film is a "talkie", MGM also issued this movie in a silent version, with Alfred Block writing the titles. The film was remade in 1949 as Take Me Out to the Ball Game. This is the last film appearance of Van and Schenck.
Big-league baseball players Jerry and Jack are also pretty good at singing. They perform in a vaudeville show, where both fall in love with Mary, a dancer, while a second woman tries to come between them before the next World Series.
