Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Cary Grant's first film with Jean Harlow; they were supposed to reunite in Saratoga but she died before filming completed.
The film awkwardly pivots from WWI drama to spy thriller to romance because MGM couldn't decide what genre sold Harlow best in 1936.
