William Powell had a mustache during his entire career, but he shaved it off for the sequences in which his character poses as a woman. (NOTE: This is not entirely accurate. He also shaved it off for the prison scenes in Shadow of the Law (1930).)
The film was remarkably well received by critics, who generally viewed it as one of the best Myrna Loy-William Powell pairings to that point.
"It's Delightful to Be Married", sung by William Powell in the beginning, also is featured in Le grand Ziegfeld (1936), a film also starring Powell, as the song Anna Held learns after arriving in America.
This film did very well at the box office, earning MGM a profit of $514,000 ($11.0M in 2024) according to studio records.
