* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Ziegfeld has an affair with Audrey Dane--or it least it is very strongly implied that he does. Thanks to UsefulNotes/TheHaysCode (and the fact that Ziegfeld's wife Billie Burke was heavily involved in the production and wanted to show him in a good light), it's never explicitly shown.
