Trivia
Multiple references to 'carloadings' being up, meaning an increase in the total amount of goods shipped by railroad. Back before stores and other businesses reported total monthly sales, carloadings was the best available measure of consumer spending.

Goofs
(at around 20 min) A string used to make a stack of books fall onto Dick Powell's head is clearly visible against the white paper background.

Quotes
Rosmer Peak: Would you call Andy if I kiss you?

The big budget is gone, but Berkeley still comes through...

The snappy dialogue and pace of Berkeley's previous films are not to be found here--GD of '37 feels more like a Republic musical than a Warners one. The bankroll went to the one big Berkeley number at the end--"All Is Fair In Love and War." It's a simple piece, lines of chorus girls dressed in white against a shiny black floor, but it is simply astonishing (the song is pretty catchy too). There is also a nice little number with Powell and Blondell called "Speaking of The Weather"--an interesting attempt to seamlessly integrate a musical number into the plot. Among the mistakes (besides the script) is the short-shrift given to the best, most popular song in the film--"With Plenty of Money and You."
