    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The radio station call letters, WMCB, were created by inserting Michael Curtiz's initials into those of Warner Bros.
    • Goofs
      As in so many run-away, car-without-brakes scenes of the 1930's & 1940's every driver "forgets" that the automobile has an ignition that can be turned off with the key. It can also be down-shifted to further slow the careening car.
    • Quotes
      • Jane Moynihan: After slaving all day over a hot typewriter, there's nothing I like better than a swan dive into a bottle of bourbon.
    • Crazy credits
      Opening titles and closing credits are typed in a bound manuscript, and gloved hands can be seen flipping the pages. This is a nod to the scripts that Grandison writes for his radio show.
    • Connections
