Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia Ginger Rogers recommended Jimmy Stewart for this film, even though they had not worked on a film together previously. The two were dating at the time, and with Rogers being one of RKO's biggest stars, she got her way. See more »

Quotes Helen: You know, Peter and I are engaged to be married.
Francey: Oh, is that so?
Helen: Not that I think knowing that would make a big difference to you.
Francey: Well, no.
Helen: You see, Peter needs protection against a certain type of woman.
Francey: Oh, I could work on that.
Helen: Now, are you going to mind your own businesses, or must I really give you a piece of my mind?
Francey: Oh, I couldn't take the last piece.
[the female fisticuffs begin after this, with Helen slapping Francey]
