Private Number

Early in the picture, Ellen, portrayed by Loretta Young, is discussing a blind date with Gracie, portrayed by Patsy Kelly. Ellen says she hopes the guy can dance. Gracie replies that the last one was a corporal that "was as handsome as Gable, and Gable ain't bad!" Ellen replies, "Oh I'll say not!" This discussion is ironic because when filming Call of the Wild (1935) the year before this film was released, Young had an affair with Clark Gable, leading to the birth of their daughter, Judy Lewis. Audiences at the time didn't realize the irony since this secret affair wasn't made public until years later.

Jane Darwell is billed as "Mrs. Meecham" but is called "Mrs. Frisby" twice.
