Facts about

Three sequences intended for the movie were not in the final print: "The Pheeneys" with Cary Grant and Miriam Hopkins, "The Man Who Drops Dead" by Oliver H.P. Garrett, directed by Thornton Freeland and Clive Brook, and "The Randall Marshalls" with Sylvia Sidney, Carole Lombard and Fredric March, and directed by Lothar Mendes. It is not known if the first 2 segments were filmed and dropped or simply not filmed. The last sequence was partially filmed, but dropped because March would not participate in retakes without salary.
The presently available DVD and cable television version appears to be the shortened 1949 re-release, running 83 minutes, with a re-arranged cast list that omits several players whose names appeared on-screen at the time of the original 1932 release.
$1,000,000 in 1932 had the same purchasing power as $15,700,000 in 2009.
