Trivia
Two scenes featuring Bill Robinson (aka "Bojangles Robinson") were cut from the final version of the film: a solo tap dance performance in black tie by the dancing legend and a duet in beachcomber outfits with Geneva Sawyer. Both scenes are included in a DVD released by Fox as part of "Tyrone Power, Matinee Idol."

Goofs
The Russian National Anthem that is sung by the waiter is incorrect. For 1937, the year the film is set in, the National Anthem of Russia would have been "Worker's Marseillaise", instead of "God, save the Tsar". Likewise, aristocracy would have been expelled or executed from the fledgling Russian Provisional Government.

Quotes
Alexis: Love not only comes, it goes. Comes and goes. Comes...
Laura Ridgeway: Yes, I know... like your accent.

Menjou and Ratoff highlights!!

The top billing casting Tyrone Power and Loretta Young play a normal roles in this romantic comedy, actually a couple of guys stolen the show, firstly the smart and cynical manager Adolphe Menjou and second Gregory Ratoff playing a no longer Russian Prince, but who still have a name to protect your honor when see a fancy phony guy use your name he decided make something to secure the long royal dynasty, well crafted plot on a fantastic movie from the past and glorious days!!!
