Trivia
MGM wanted Ava Gardner to play Ruth Etting but she turned down the role because she didn't want to be dubbed again as in Show Boat. See more »Goofs
Factual errors: Ruth Etting's name is billed over 'Ziegfeld Follies' on a theater marquee. The Ziegfeld Follies never allowed any performer's name to be placed over the title of the show. See more »Quotes
Martin Snyder: [Indignantly to Ruth] Now look here, you stupid liyyle broad, do you know who I am? Do you think I let dames talk to me that way?See more »
