Curiosidades
The emphatic remarks at the beginning about the need for a crown prince to abandon a life of frivolity and settle down and be serious clearly allude to the Abdication Crisis in Great Britain, which was happening at that time.

Pifias
The colonel tells the prince that "His Majesty, your father" wants to see him. One term would be used in formal discourse, the other in informal, so they would never be used together. There is no need to add "your father" to clarify who is being referred to, as only the king is called "Majesty."

Citas
Prince Florizel: Do you always think best with your mouth full?

Versiones alternativas
According to the AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1931-1940, there was a version that included Virginia Weidler and David Holt playing the two lead characters as children at the start of the film, according to contemporary reviews. But that was not in this print nor in the cutting continuity submitted for copyright.

Intelligent early-talkie thriller

Very imaginative reworking of Stevenson's classic short-story, The Suicide Club. Montgomery and Russell make a well-matched and very attractive couple, and Frank Morgan is superb as his faithful and loyal second. Reginald Owen is marvelous as the head of the club. And, the rest of the supporting class including a young and handsome Louis Hayward, is equally compelling. The score and photography are exquisite as well. This is one to be watched and enjoyed.
