- QuizAs originally shot, the script contained a sizable role for Rita Hayworth. When, however, it was decided that this film was to be the first of a series, the studio eliminated Hayworth's role rather than have a third major character who, like Joan Blondell and Melvyn Douglas, would be committed to the series. In any event, Blondell withdrew from the planned series, and all but three seconds of Hayworth's role landed on the cutting-room floor. She speaks two words on-screen and 5 words on an intercom off-screen.
- BlooperNear the end, the dispatcher reads the wanted person alert for Mrs. Reardon. He states her complexion as blonde, which is a hair color, not a complexion.

It's one of those films which when you notice it's coming to an end, you wish it would keep carrying on. It does help of course if you like Joan Blondell and since that surely includes everyone in the world except for six members of one isolated tribe deep in the Amazon you'll enjoy this. She is as brilliant in this as she's ever been and even in a 'post pre-code' negligee she's jaw-droppingly stunning. Her character is however a little too ditzy. As an aspiring detective, her character is not that easy to believe.
According to her autobiography, Joan Blondell really enjoyed making this in Columbia's more relaxed atmosphere away her now hated Warner Brothers. You can sense her renewed enthusiasm and feel the electricity in her performance. She really brings what could have been a formulaic and forgettable feature to life.
Another small fly in the ointment is Melvyn Douglas' character. His relationship with his 'wife' seems a bit too snarky and aggressive at times. He's not really that likeable so the enjoyment of this film relies completely on the shoulders of Miss Blondell so if you're not a fan of her (perhaps you're a Nazi?) then maybe this isn't for you?
