Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Wallace Beery was terminally ill during filming; his visible fatigue was genuine and unscripted. He died months after release.
This was the final pairing of Beery and Main, ending MGM's weirdest romantic-comedy duo—two unglamorous brawlers who somehow sold 'will they, won't they' for a decade.
