Trivia
John Barrymore once said that the role of Oscar was "a role that comes once in a lifetime" and even deemed this his favorite of all the movies he appeared in.

When asked by John Barrymore why he should play the role of Oscar, Howard Hawks replied, "It's the story of the biggest ham on earth and you're the biggest ham I know." Barrymore accepted at once.

Goofs
When Jaffee claims he has an inspiration he grabs Owen's coat, and in the next shot his hand is open.
Share this
When the man kneels in front of Jaffe and calls him Maestro, the position of the man's hands change between shots.
Share this
When Jaffe takes over direction, he addresses Lily by her new name and she responds, even though she hasn't heard it before. This gap was caused by the deletion of a brief scene in which O'Malley informs her that Jaffe has changed her name.
