The book that the heroine writes was inspired by the notorious magazine article "Latins Are Lousy Lovers" by Helen Lawrenson, which appeared in Esquire in 1936. It created a tremendous sensation, with many individuals and even governments denouncing Lawrenson, who confessed later that it hadn't done a lot for her own love life. She would be introduced to handsome Latin men who were at first friendly, and then, hearing the name of her most famous article, would drop her like a stone, unlike the character in the movie who saw it as a challenge.
