Ian Hunter (born 1900) and Frieda Inescort (born 1901), as the befuddled parents, are only a scant more than a decade older than Olivia de Haviland (born 1916) and Peter Willes (born 1913), who play their petulant older children.
Debut of actress Mary Field.
As Ethel Francis, Peggy Wood makes a reference to her painter husband Paul that 'Cath Hilton,' played by Olivia de Haviland, "is not quite 19," yet Miss de Haviland was actually 20 years old when this motion picture was made.
