Wissenswertes
The balloon in the balloon sequence was shipped from Goodyear in Akron, Ohio. It was handled by Navy balloonist J.J. Leonard, and was equipped with an automatic camera to avoid the weight of a cameraman.

Patzer
After sustaining a back injury as a result of an accident while filming The Perils of Pauline (1914), Pearl White used a stunt-double, although this was never publicized until after he himself died from an accident during the making of Plunder (1923), at which time the truth came out. Pearl retired from films and moved to Paris, where she died in 1938 from a liver ailment, alcoholism and drugs. In the film, Pearl's accident occurs on the Paris stage after her film career was over, and one is led to believe that now, unable to walk, she lived happily ever after with her fictional husband.

Zitate
George 'Mac' McGuire: [They have just learned that the President is to declare war on Germany] How do you like that? Everything happens to me! War! They couldn't hold off until after the wedding? No. They gotta do it now and gum up everything.
Pearl White: War... but it's horrible.
George 'Mac' McGuire: You said it. Now we gotta re-write the last six episodes!

10/10

A sparkling Betty Hutton and supporting cast in a very entertaining movie

OK, so this film was never going to be nominated for an Oscar, but for plain entertainment value it has to get 10 out of 10. Although historically inaccurate; this film about the silent movie queen Pearl White, is the perfect showcase for the effervescent Betty Hutton's remarkable talents. The difference in singing style between the gentle 'I Wish I Didn't Love You So' and the bulldozer of a number 'Rumble, Rumble, Rumble' just goes to show how versatile she is as a singer. In the film she plays an actress of rather limited ability, which is very far from the truth. Betty Hutton was a great actress in her day; a far better actress than she was given credit for. Betty Hutton is still alive and living in Palm Springs. I love her dearly and wish her the very best of health and happiness.
