Lucky Night

Overton is supposed to be flat broke and homeless, but he's wearing an immaculate three-piece suit and tie and is freshly shaved. (Loy is also well-dressed in a fur-trimmed suit, but she's only pretending.) As was so often the case at MGM, Louis B. Mayer loathed the depiction of poverty.

The neon sign over the gaming establishment is Play Palace, but the sign painted on the glass over the front door is Play Place, both identifications appearing in the same shot, at the same time, as the couple drives out with their new car. This identical shot, but shortened to end before the car appears, is used again in Third Finger, Left Hand (1940), also starring Myrna Loy who apparently visits the Play Palace again, this time with Melvyn Douglas.
