Trivia
Lucille Ball, an unknown RKO contract player at the time, appears uncredited as a model in a fashion show. She wears a large feather cape, and her hair is bleached platinum blonde. See more »Goofs
Miscellaneous: When John Kent arrives in Paris and goes to the building where Roberta lives, the doorman tells him that she is on the "troisième étage " and indicates that John should press the corresponding button. John is eventually taken to Roberta on the third floor, which is incorrect since the "troisième étage " corresponds to the fourth floor. In France, the "premiere étage" (first floor) is not the ground floor but the next one up. See more »Quotes
