Trivia

"Professional Sweetheart" was Ginger Rogers' first film for RKO and - ironically, since so much of the plot revolves around getting Rogers' character to sign a radio contract - she had not yet signed a long-term contract with RKO when she made this film. She would sign a contract with the studio later in the year, just before making Flying Down to Rio (1933), her first film with Fred Astaire.

An early mention of television by the radio announcer in this film from 1933.

RKO borrowed Norman Foster from Fox for this picture.

The $1000 signing bonus Glory is offered would be over $24,000 in 2024 purchasing power.

While commercial TV in the US didn't begin until a dozen years after the release of this film, the film's reference is to early demonstrations that were taking place from the mid 1920s.
