      The original play opened in New York on 13 August 1921, with Lynn Fontanne as the title character. The book Schuyler Van Dyke is reading, "Nuts! An Intimate Glimpse Into the Life of the American Peanut," originally was "Pschopathia-Sexualis," but was changed at the request of the Hays office.
    • Goofs
      In the early part of this film, Dulcy kisses her brother, Bill on his right cheek. In the next scene, when he turns around, the lipstick kiss shows up on his left cheek.

      Dulcy Ward: [airplane roars right over their head] He's probably one of those hit and fly drivers.

    Loud, tedious and unfunny ....
    ... despite the presence of some wonderful actors. One is hard-pressed to understand why any of these contortions would ever be considered amusing. The production values are high, but the endless succession of predictable sight gags and cruel mishaps descend into near-gibberish. Ann Sothern looks lovely, but embarrassed. Even Roland Young, for me one of the most most dependably skilled comic actors ever, just plows ahead dutifully until the whole thing grinds to a halt.
