Did You Know?
| Trivia | Because he disliked the script for this movie so much, James Cagney had the sides of his head shaved for the film, without the knowledge of either director Michael Curtiz or producer Hal Wallis; Bette Davis did not appreciate it either, and refused to have publicity pictures taken with Cagney.

| Goofs | Wallingham's certified check is clearly dated 21 October 1933, but his steamship ticket, which he purchases afterwards, is dated 2 September 1933. See more » |
