Did You Know?
| Trivia | Henry Fonda had just turned 31 when filming started. Annabella is supposed to be playing a character of around 20/21, who claims to be 23, but was in fact approaching 30, only one year younger than Fonda. See more » |
| Goofs | When disguised as a male, Annabella's hair is cut short and unwaved; once her femininity is revealed, her hair immediately grows to a permanently-waved shoulder-length style, fresh from a non-existent salon. See more » |
