Tallulah Bankhead was on loan to MGM from Paramount, where she had just come off five box office flops in a row. This would be her last film until Le cabaret des étoiles (1943). She focused on stage plays instead. In 1933, while performing in Jezebel, Bankhead nearly died following a five-hour emergency hysterectomy due to gonorrhea, which she claimed she had contracted from George Raft. Weighing only 70 lb (32 kg) when she left the hospital, she vowed to continue her notoriously promiscuous party lifestyle of drugs and sex with men and women, stoically saying to her doctor, "Don't think this has taught me a lesson!"
Carol tells the landlady her shoes cost $55. That amount equates to about $1,300 in 2025.
