Trivia

The only film based on the long-running comic strip "Jane Arden", the original "spunky girl reporter", that was published from November 26, 1928 to January 20, 1968. The character served as a prototype for others such as Superman's Lois Lane, Frederick Nebel's "Torchy Blane", and another comic strip "Brenda Starr, Reporter", that ran from 1940 to 2011. There was also a "Jane Arden" radio program - a 15 minute weekday show on the NBC Blue Network from 1938 to 1939.

The flying boat, or seaplane, depicted as flying Ed to Bermuda is a rare Sikorsky S-42. Introduced in 1934, only 10 were made - all for Pan American Airways. All were lost or scrapped by 1946 - none remain.

The $10,000 offered for the pearls equates to about $217,000 in 2023.
