Mary Astor, William Gargan, John Hubbard, Carole Landis, Donald Meek, and Adolphe Menjou in Turnabout (1940)

Trivia

Turnabout

Edit
Polly Ann Young, who plays Miss Twill, is the older sister of film star Loretta Young.
Joseph Breen, director of the Production Code Administration, expressed displeasure with Franklin Pangborn's character, a rather effeminate hosiery merchant. Breen complained to Hal Roach that Pangborn's character was too "pansyish" and asked Roach to tone down the role's effeminacy.
Adapted into the short-lived TV series, Turnabout (1979), starring Sharon Gless and John Schuck.
Margaret Roach, daughter of the film's director and producer, Hal Roach, has a small role as a Southern belle.
This is the third and final film that Hal Roach adapted from a Thorne Smith novel. The other two are Topper (1937) and Topper Takes a Trip (1938).
