Wissenswertes
RKO borrowed Wendy Barrie from Paramount for this picture.

Patzer
As Michael and Paula are being driven through the streets of Los Angeles near the end of the film, they are depicted as driving past the same intersection twice in successive shots - once in a long shot from above, then in the next studio shot in front of a rear-projection screen. Note the Owl Drug store on the corner.

Zitate
Michael MacCreigh: Ah, Miss Mannerly, you're looking like a goddess.
Miss Mannerly, Hutchinson's Secretary: You told me that yesterday.
Michael MacCreigh: Oh, that was an ordinary goddess. This time it's a Greek goddess.

another guy chases girl caper from G. Raymond

Ann Sothern must have been busy that week... SHE usually starred in these RKO, mid 1930's films with Gene Raymond. Guy pursues girl, Girl treats guy like crap, Guy and Girl FINALLY iron things out, similar to Fred Astair and Ginger films, but here, no dancing and singing. And at least the awesome, sarcastic Helen Broderick is in it, as always backing up Gene Raymond's underhanded character; she seems to want love to succeed, even when the young female lead is against it. In this one, Wendy Barrie is Paula, who is chased around the country by Michael (Gene Raymond) on some wild, silly caper, because he made a bet with someone. This one is just like all the other lightweight, fun, silly chases Raymond made in the 1930s. With the production code in full force, it had to be kept light and fluffy. Directed by Leigh Jason, who made three of these love stories with Raymond. Its a great 77 minutes of fun! FINALLY available on Warner Brothers Archives website.
