    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Ben Hecht wrote a role for his friend John Barrymore, but David O. Selznick refused to hire Barrymore due to his alcohol abuse. Hecht refused to work on any more drafts and quit the film.
    • Goofs
      They are inconsistent with the volume numbers on issues of The Morning Star. When Hazel first arrives in New York, the front page says it's issue is in Volume 27. Several days later, when Hazel blacks out from drinking too much, it's listed as being in Volume 22 (which would be roughly five years earlier in most real world publications).
    • Quotes
      • Wally Cook: For good clean fun, there's nothing like a wake.
      • Hazel Flagg: Oh please, let's not talk shop.
    • Crazy credits
      Each of the stars' names is shown on a title card set beside a plaster caricature. The rest of the cast have caricatures alongside their names in the credits.
    • Alternate versions
      Also available in a Cinecolor version "In Color". The credit for Natalie Kalmus as Technicolor Consultant is missing from this version.
