Allen Jenkins, Jean Muir, Kathryn Sergava, and Warren William in Bedside (1934)

Trivia

Bedside

Edit
Bob hears a woman calling out for a doctor and rushes into her room. Looking at her chart, he sees an order for "Strych. gr 1/40 PRN". This translates to "Strychnine 1/40th grain as needed". 1/40th of a grain equals 1.62 milligrams (mg.). At the time of this film, very small amounts of strychnine were medicinally used as a stimulant. It is no longer prescribed as such as the margin between a therapeutic dose and a fatal one is very small - just a few milligrams.
Phillip Reed is in studio records/casting call lists for the role of "Intern," but he was not seen in the movie.
Debut of actress Kitty McHugh, sister of prolific Warner Bros character actor Frank McHugh and Matt McHugh, also a busy character actor in his own right.
The $1,500 that Caroline loans Bob is equivalent to $35,864 in 2025.
