Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBecause of the Hays Code, screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz changed the setting from a Paris brothel to a nightclub in New Orleans, and changed the main character from a prostitute to a more ambiguous nightclub singer and hostess, in adapting the 1939 novel of the same name by W. Somerset Maugham.
- GoofsAfter Robert breaks out of jail, the newspaper spells his last name as "Mannette". However, the correct spelling is "Manette".
- Quotes
Simon Fenimore: [to Charles] The planes are all grounded, the trains won't do you any good, and you're too big for me to carry on piggyback.

Featured review
A nice film--and it is nice to see Deanna Durbin shed her little girl image for something with a bit of a bite to it. She plays a singer in a nightclub and is married to Gene Kelly, although he doesn't have much to do in this film. Nice to see some good supporting performances by Gladys George and Gale Sondergaard--although Ms. Sondergaard seems a bit young to play Gene Kelly's mother!!
