Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the shooting of this film, Ginger Rogers won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her previous film, "Kitty Foyle." The day after, all of the male cast and crew met her on the set in top hats and tails.
- GoofsThe titles schedule Phil Silvers as "Ice Cream Man" rather than as a character with a name, but, on one occasion, one of them greet him as "Phil" which is, of course, his real name outside the movie.
- Quotes
Phil - Ice Cream Vendor: You don't have to yell at me because I'm a little obnoxious
- Crazy creditsIn the opening titles, it shows some of the names spelled incorrectly, then the letters tumble to the bottom of the screen, scramble themselves and return to their original position, with the correct spellings. This is how they appear: SNIRGOR GREEG = GINGER ROGERS GREGORE YUMPH = GEORGE MURPHY HASALMAR NALL = ALAN MARSHAL ESSRUDE MITHGREB = BURGESS MEREDITH SERT BORISK = ROBERT SISK RILA COJURPA = PAUL JARRICO OSKAR INGNAN = GARSON KANIN
- ConnectionsFeatured in Hollywood the Golden Years: The RKO Story: A Woman's Lot (1987)
Featured review
Ginger is so silly in this one!
Ginger Rogers had that combination of dinginess and likability in this film. Only "The Major and the Minor" may rival this one. She certainly could turn on the charm.
Another interesting note about this one is that Burgess Meredith, who always tended to be typecast as somebody love-ably, slightly (depending on the film) unstable, managed to garner a bit of sex appeal in this one, and given the idea that he was the nonconformist in this film, he actually does live up to his usual reputation. The sex appeal was a rarity for him, but that's not badmouthing him at all about his "stage" presence. He was great in just about everything, and who could forget that voice?
I wish I could purchase this one!
