Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Myrna Loy's first film after 'The Thin Man' series made her a star — she fought for better roles than the 'other woman' but lost this round.
The 'milkman' keyword isn't random — a bizarre subplot involves Walter Pidgeon's character working undercover as one, reflecting 1930s class-anxiety comedy trends.
