Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scenes in which Herbert Marshall is running up and down the stairs at Madame Colet's were done with a double who is only seen from the rear. Mr. Marshall lost a leg in WWI and although it was almost impossible to notice that he used a prosthesis, he could not perform any action that called for physical agility.
- Goofs(at around 10 mins) A very clear shadow of a boom mic moves against the wall/screen behind Lily, anticipating her next action (rising and moving toward Gaston).
- Quotes
Gaston Monescu: Madame Colet, if I were your father, which fortunately I am not, and you made any attempt to handle your own business affairs, I would give you a good spanking - in a business way, of course.
Mariette Colet: What would you do if you were my secretary?
Gaston Monescu: The same thing.
Mariette Colet: You're hired.
- Crazy creditsIn the opening credits, the words 'Trouble in' appear and then a bed before the word 'paradise', subliminally indicating that sex is at least part of the film's plot. It was done so subtly for the time that censors didn't notice it until the film's attempted re-release in 1935.
