    • Trivia
      This film is featured in The ABC Murders (1992). Alexander Bonaparte Cust was watching it in the theatre between the B and C murders. The use of the film was an anachronism as the episode was set in 1936, three years before it was released.

      Jemima: No, they've hung up - like you should be!

      Inspector Tanner: I could arrest you for interfering with the police.

      Jemima: You couldn't arrest a goldfish without handcuffing it!
