For the most part, this was Billie Dove's last film. She retired to raise a family and was reportedly disgruntled over the "behind the scenes" interference from Randolph Hearst over the amount of time alloted to her on film.
One hour into the film, Marion Davies (Blondie) addresses Billie Dove's character as "Lurlene Callabash". In later years Jimmy Durante would often close his TV, Radio and Night Club appearances with "Goodnight Mrs. Callabash, wherever you are."

Though Jimmy Durante is given star billing, he is only seen for a few minutes entertaining at a party. It was quite often that Ms. Davies mentor, Randolph Hearst, would have scenes "cut" where attention was diverted from Ms. Davies.
