Trivia
The original play On the Spot premiered on Broadway at the Forrest Theatre on October 29, 1930, and ran for 167 performances. Anna May Wong starred (she reprises her role in the film), and the cast included Glenda Farrell, Arthur Vinton and Crane Wilbur.

Errores
Stephen Recka comes out of his home office late in the film, meeting Kusnoff in the front hall. Recka lets the door slam shut behind him, and the wall to the left wobbles visibly, revealing that it's just a piece of set.

Citas
Madame Lan Ying: I possess everything within my reach, so I've stopped wanting.

Solid Direction and Acting - Dangerous to Know

I don't know if this title refers to the Tamiroff character or to Anna May Wong. My vote would be for Wong, for we do not know what she will do after being dumped by Tamiroff. Tamiroff is surprising good in his role, and Wong is very good as well. Director Florey knows what he is doing in every scene, and gets the most out of his actors. The cinematography is atmospheric, and captures the feeling of the time period. A good film to catch late at night.
