Trivia
The 1927 Packard 7 Passenger used in the movie was actually Charles Lindbergh's car, given to him by the mayor of New York (Jimmie Walker) after his direct, non-stop flight from New York to Paris. The chauffeur in the movie is the owner of the car from RM Classic Cars of Blenheim.

I'm already married, to Mr. Putnam.
