| Trivia | Polly Ann Young, who plays Miss Twill, is the older sister of film star Loretta Young. See more » |
| Goofs | When the woman's personality is in the man's body and the actor in the part shows this with female reactions and gestures, he looks at his fingernails by holding his hand palm up and bending the fingers toward himself. This is the way a man, not a woman, regards their fingernails, and it often appears in fiction as one way by which a man dressed as a woman is caught out. Women study their fingernails by holding a hand palm down and extending the fingers so that they are flat with the rest of the hand. See more » |
