Did You Know?
| Trivia | One news item noted that Riffraff (1935) was using 42 contract players, the largest ever used in an M-G-M picture. On the night of October 30, 1935, the 40 female extras set, many of them elderly or in frail health, were filmed in a simulated rain sequence that included the use of a sprinkler rig, fire hoses and wind machines. Multiple extras sustained bruises, temporary blindness, and loss of consciousness, with many suffering from pneumonia as a result. The crew was found to be understaffed and lacking the necessary supplies to properly warm and dry the extras between takes. A charge of negligence was brought against MGM by the California State Industrial Welfare Committee by Mrs. Mabel Kinney on behalf of the 40 female extras who were drenched in the prison rainstorm sequence. It contended that women who lost work because of illness after that sequence should be compensated. Each of the extras received an extra $15 as an initial compensation. See more » |
| Goofs | During the prison escape when Jean Harlow and friend hop into the getaway car, the seat backs are already wet before the two drenched escapees get into the auto. Obviously this was a second or third take of this scene. See more » |
