    • Trivia
      The car they win is a 1939 Plymouth 4-door sedan, which sold at that time for about $800.
    • Goofs
      The neon sign over the gaming establishment is Play Palace, but the sign painted on the glass over the front door is Play Place, both identifications appearing in the same shot, at the same time, as the couple drives out with their new car. This identical shot, but shortened to end before the car appears, is used again in Third Finger, Left Hand (1940), also starring Myrna Loy who apparently visits the Play Palace again, this time with Melvyn Douglas.

      Cora Jordan: Bill!

      Bill Overton: [Asleep] Hmmmm?

      Cora Jordan: I don't know where we are. Do you?

      Bill Overton: Hmmmm.

      [Wakes up, startled]

      Bill Overton: It looks like a hotel!

      Cora Jordan: Look outside and see if we're still in America.

    An unspeakable turkey
    This may be the golden age of movies, but now and then (e.g. Penny Serenade) MGM could produce a certified turkey. This gets almost as bad as it gets. And it's 1939, the best year ever for films. Whew.
