- TriviaThis was the first of three movies that Powell and Lombard made together. The other two pictures are Ladies' Man (1931) and My Man Godfrey (1936). They met on the set and married the same year the movie was released, but would be divorced in 1933.
- GoofsAt the "Paris" horse race, they wanted to show the horses running clockwise (the opposite direction of US horse racing), so the flipped they negative causing all the numbers on the horses to be reversed in the film. They managed to edit the race to not show the number clearly, that is until the end of the race. The number 5 is very clearly backwards in the close-up of the finish.
- Quotes
Irene Hoffa: Say, I can remember once I had a good-time Charlie. And it was all fixed up for Michael to walk in and ask this guy what he thought he was doing with his wife. Good for 5,000 bucks this guy was too. All right. Mike is supposed to walk in at 4:00, and sharp 7:00 he shows up. You can't imagine what I went through those three hours.
Fred: Yes, I can.
Irene Hoffa: Well, you're wrong.
