Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn the film, Allen Jenkins's character complains about having to spend 10 cents to buy cup a coffee at the "clip joint" where they are eating. In 2019, 10 cents in 1937 would be equivalent, due to inflation, to $1.78 in 2019. A small cup of coffee at Starbucks, in 2019, would generally cost you $1.85; whereas, at McDonalds it would cost you $1.00. As well, Louise Fazenda's character claims to have sold the moving picture rights of a 10-page story outline for $30,000. In 2019, that would be equivalent to nearly $535,000.
- GoofsThe scene in which Freddy is watching Marge remove her 'Sadie' wig to reveal her fluffy blond hair involves a well-done substitution splice, presumably because to get the Sadie wig to fit realistically, Marion Davis' real hair would have been tightly slicked or tied down.
- Quotes
President of the Purity League: Mr. Mason? Miss Winton? What on earth? What's going on
Marge Winton: Oh, just the usual office routine. Mr. Mason was giving me dictation. But, he was a little too fast!
Purity League Manager: Miss Winton choose to misunderstand purely a friendly gesture.
President of the Purity League: Miss Winton this is disgraceful! I'm sure Mr. Mason meant no harm.
