Trivia
This film marked one of the earliest uses (in American film) of the gyroscopic camera, which stabilized shooting. Dispensing with the typical tripod, cameraman Roy Hunt strapped the camera over his shoulder. In one sequence, Bebe Daniels walked from booth to booth in the manicure shop. Normally, the sequence would have taken a few hours to shoot, requiring camera set-ups and lighting. With the new camera, Hunt simply followed Daniels, and the sequence took about four minutes to shoot.
