    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Dianne Wiest said she really struggled with Helen Sinclair's signature line. She finally decided to lower her voice when she said "Don't speak!" The lower she said it, the funnier it became.
    • Goofs
      Helen mentions that she hasn't had a drink since New Year's Eve and clarifies that she means Chinese New Year. "Still," she says, "that's two days." The film begins at the end of September 1928. Chinese New Year was on January 22 of that year.
