Did you know
- TriviaWhen Laird Cregar asks who Gene Tierney, then serving in a shop, is, Spring Byington tartly remarks, "A shop-girl, of course. Who did you think she was--Brenda Frazier?" The very glamorous and wealthy Brenda Frazier was the most famous debutante of the 1930s.
- GoofsWhen John slides his roulette chips across the table to cash them in, other people's bets are corralled with them, yet no one complains.
- Quotes
Susan Miller: Say, are you really millionaires?
[Warren and Maybelle burst into laughter]
Warren: Why?
Susan Miller: Well, there seems to be something missing.
Mrs. Maybelle Worthington: Just the millions, and they can't rule you out for a technicality.
Warren: You see, nature played a little trick on us: we should have been born with blue blood, so we have devoted our entire life to correcting this... biological error.
Susan Miller: What do you do? If you're not, what are you?
Mrs. Maybelle Worthington: Well, we're sort of an excess profits tax. To criticize us would be unamerican.
Warren: We are merely bees that take a little nectar from the flowers that have so much. And you too can have some.

Traditional
Played and sung at the beginning
Fonda is doing his "B" version of "The Lady Eve". I've seen it too often. No one has any real snappy lines. The movie relies on situation comedy and a chase at the end. Sometimes these are good, but if I wanted chases, the Bowery Boys might have sufficed.
The film seemed to be a bit pasted together. New characters appear out of the blue and things are referenced in the dialogue which were not in the film. These were so obvious that it bothered me.
Was it my imagination or did the background music feature snatches of the theme from "Laura"?
