Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe original ending of the movie just had Mary Grey leaving the Borden House, walking down Fifth Avenue, but the sneak preview audience complained at what it considered an unhappy ending. So the ending was changed to its current form, which essentially made it more palatable.
- GoofsWhen Mrs. Borden walks toward her daughter after consulting with Dr. Kessler, the daughter has her arms in front of her with the hands interlocked. But on the following cut, the arms are now behind her with the hands interlocked.
- Quotes
Mr. Borden: Well, Michael, there seems to be a touch of spring in the air.
Mike: Yes sir, that's something even the poor people can enjoy.
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits are on street-sign like sign boards attached to the street light posts in New York City.
Featured review
The ridiculously rich (look at that mansion) and the perfectly groomed poor. Ginger Rogers proves that she was one of the best comedic, deadpan actresses of her time, even without dancing. The bratty kids, the wise ass chauffeur, the horse faced butler. The clothes, love that 1930-40's look. it must have been a real ego trip to be stinking rich during a time of world wide depression, which made the rich even richer. Great writing, acting and directing. As good as "It happened One Night". There were many movies made in 1939, a couple of them like GWTW and TW of Oz, get all the press but this movie is a gem. Walter Connolly and Verre Teasdale as high society husband and wife are great.
