Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was not successful at the box office and made Jack L. Warner rethink putting Errol Flynn in non-adventure pictures. Flynn, worried about being typecast, lobbied Warner to do other films - screwball comedies in particular.
- GoofsThe microphone is briefly visible, reflected in the window just before Jean sits for her shoe-shine.
- Quotes
Jean Christy: I'll be a fool. I'm in love with a man whom I dislike intensely, who'd cheat me, who'd lie to me, whom I wouldn't trust as far as I could throw the Queen Mary. I hate myself for it, but, I can't help it.
Robert Kensington 'Bob' Lansford: Jean, hold everything. You - you don't mean me?
Jean Christy: Does the description fit, big lug?
- Alternate versionsThis is the only one of the Eroll Flynn-Olivia de Havilland that was never released to the home entertainment market in the USA. It was released in Argentina using a well preserved 16mm print with the original English credits and audio track and Spanish language subtitles.

Errol Flynn and Olivia De Havilland may not be Cary Grant and Carole Lombard but they do perfectly well and Ros Russell is a screwball icon. Patrick Knowles does a fine job and Flynn's foil. Walter Connolly, as the grumpy oligarch repeats his performance from "It Happened One Night". Melville Cooper, (the fourth member of the cast from 'The Adventures of Robin Hood': he was the comically villainous Sheriff of Nottingham) is his butler. Franklin Pangborn shows up as Knowles' manservant. Hugh Herbert is a justice of the peace and Margaret Hamilton is Connolly's housekeeper.
This one is way in the background of Flynn's career and not the kind of movie he's famous for but it's a solid piece of entertainment anyway. The great stars of the Golden Age made many such films and it's fun to look back and discover them and get a complete picture of their careers.
