Merry Wives of Reno (1934)

Trivia

Merry Wives of Reno

Edit
One of only two films in which both Louise Beavers and Hattie McDaniel appeared. The other film was Imitation of Life (1934).
Three cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): Dick Powell (Customer), Irving Bacon (Cook) and Inez Palange (Italian Woman). Since Richard Powell is in the cast, it is most likely the listing of Dick Powell refers to him, since he is a Bar Customer.
The $2,500 that Tom has to pay for Lois' fur coat would be equivalent to $49,332 in 2021.
After taking information from his clients, the divorce lawyer Mr. Derwent says, "The mills of the divorce gods are already grinding." This is a reference to "The mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small," from the poem by Longfellow.
Debut of actress Mary Currier.
