    • Trivia
      The past due hotel bill presented to Irene would be the equivalent of about $8,000 in 2015.

      The bill of 124 Austrian shillings presented to Tobler for the six cigars and a bottle of brandy would equate to nearly $400 in 2015.

      The salary of 100,000 Austrian shillings Hagedorn is to be paid as Tobler's advertising general manager would equate to nearly $320,000 in 2015.
    • Goofs
      As with many of his films from the mid-to late 1930s, Robert Young's wedding ring is visible on his hand in several scenes.
    • Quotes

      Johann Kesselhut: [Waiting for Rudolph Tobler to show up outside the Paradise Hotel, under the name Eduard Schultz] Tell me, my good man, how long does it take to walk to the station?

      Mr. Polter: I will get you a car, Mr. Kesselhut.

      Johann Kesselhut: I don't want a car.

      Mr. Polter: Well, you want to walk?

      Johann Kesselhut: I don't wanna walk. I want to know how long it takes.

      Mr. Polter: Well, if you don't wanna walk, what do you care how long it takes?

      Johann Kesselhut: If I wanted to walk, how long would it take?

      Mr. Polter: Well, uh, would you rather walk fast, slow, or medium?

    Delightful
    This is sort of the reverse of the sublime, and rarely shown "Easy Living." In that, working girl Jean Arthur is treated to life as a rich person. Here, tycoon Frank Morgan masquerades as an average Joe.

    The cast could (with the exception of Robert Young, though he is OK here) scarcely be improved on. Mary Astor graces anything in which she appears. She was one of the true greats. Edna May Oliver, Frank Morgan, Herman Bing … They're all fine and here work well as an ensemble.

    The title is a bit misleading. It sounds racy and, though there are some faux naughty scenes involving devious divorcée Astor, it is good clean fun. I wonder who actually are the three?

    Nevertheless, it's a charmer: not a great movie but a highly appealing one.
