Anecdotes
The exterior of Alison Drake's house was shot on location in the Hollywood Hills at the famous Ennis-Wright House, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, later featured famously in William Castle's La Nuit de tous les mystères (1959).

Gaffes
When Alison is talking with Harriet about four minutes in, the placement of the crane and the puffs of dark smoke outside the window change abruptly; it is obvious that the filming was not done in a continuous take.

Citations
Pettigrew: You don't appreciate her. She's the only honest woman I've ever met. There's nothing of the hypocrite about Miss D. That's more than you can say about the men she comes in contact with. Look at them. A pack of spineless "Yes"-men. All after her for her money. She sees through them. That's why she tosses them aside. Just as Napoleon would have dismissed a ballet girl. Why, she's never met a man yet that's worthy of her. And she never will.

Chatterton eats men for breakfast in this pre code gem

This comedy should be a pre-code document, just as the code was about to be imposed. The sexual conduct of Ruth Chatterton's character is mind blowing in this 1933 flick. Reminded me of Demi Moore in "Disclosure" with a major difference, Ruth Chatterton devours her minions not because she is some kind of monster but as simple mater of fact. h inherited a man's role and she loves it. The last few minutes of "Female" are a forced betrayal of the intention and the morality tale becomes an ominous warning sign for all entrepreneurial females. So blunt! Inspite of the ending this is a gem that should be seen. I guarantee you it will leave you open mouthed. Ruth Chatterton is not just amazingly modern in her upper class Mae Westish part but her performance is truly superb
