Facts about

The only screen appearance of composer Max Steiner who appears briefly as a Bandleader.
Because of Lee Tracy's absences and late arrivals on the set, RKO withheld $3500 from his salary and sued him for $10,000 which they alleged his actions cost them. It was settled out of court with RKO paying half his salary and, if he behaved himself, the other half would be paid as a bonus after he completed his next RKO picture, which turned out to be Wanted: Jane Turner. Tracy requested and was paid the bonus after that film was completed.
