| Trivia | Originally, James Cagney was supposed to play Nick, but when The Public Enemy (1931) became a big hit, it was decided that he should no longer be relegated to supporting roles, allowing the relatively unknown Clark Gable to step in instead. See more » |
| Goofs | During surgery, all the doctors, nurses, and observers are wearing face masks, but only their mouths are covered; their noses are sticking out above the masks. There is no point in wearing a surgical mask if the nostrils are exposed. See more » |
