    • Trivia
      Errol Flynn was a friend of John Barrymore's in Hollywood during the time frame depicted in the film.
    • Goofs
      The script tells us that, at the time of his death in 1942, John Barrymore had not worked in five years. Truth of the matter is that he had prominent roles in two films in 1939, two in 1940, and two in 1941, and at least four of them, Midnight (1939), The Great Man Votes (1939), The Great Profile (1940), and The Invisible Woman (1940), are quite notable and still shown today on cable television.
