Did You Know?
| Trivia | William Powell had a mustache for the entire length of his career, but he shaved it off for this movie for the sequences in which his character poses as a woman. (This is not entirely accurate. He also shaved it off for the prison scenes in Shadow of the Law (1930).) See more » |
| Goofs | When Isobel is trying to hide Steve in her room after he escapes from her husband's shower, a large shadow of the boom microphone can be seen on the curtains in front of the large windows out to the patio. See more » |
