* CallBack: Danny keeps wearing his hat crooked, and Helen keeps telling him to straighten it. At the end as they're sailing away on their honeymoon, he has his hat on straight. Helen tells him to wear it "the old way" and he tips it to one side.
* EveryoneKnowsMorse: Sarge's knowledge of Morse is explained by him being in the Signal Corps during the war. Eddie is proficient in Morse because he's a sailor. Danny and Helen do ''not'' know Morse and so they have to write down the dots and dashes: Helen later gets a Morse Code book and decodes the message about Duke being in the attic.

* TakeThat: The film version of ''Theatre/StrangeInterlude'' came out earlier in 1932. That film, adopting the BreakingTheFourthWall device of the play, had the characters delivering line of dialogues, followed by {{Inner Monologue}}s in which their real thoughts can be heard. This movie has Helen and Danny snuggling on a couch when he tells her he saw a film called ''Strange Inner Tube'', and she says oh yeah, that's the movie where you hear all the characters' thoughts. This is then followed by an exchange in which they're both talking while also voicing their thoughts in inner monologue--he's wondering how far he can go, while she's excited that he kissed her but feels like she's required to be offended.

* ChekhovsSkill: Eddie's father "Sarge" was left paralyzed and unable to speak by his injuries in the Great War--but he is alert and aware and knows Morse Code, so he can communicate by blinking. He does this to send a message that Duke is hiding in the attic.
* CoincidentalBroadcast: Kate flips on the radio. The radio then immediately broadcasts a report of Duke's escape from jail.

* DramaticIrony:
** Duke is working in the prison garage. He gets into a maintenance pit to work on the undercarriage of the warden's car--then rigs up a harness so that he can ride in the undercarriage. As the warden's driver starts the car, Duke, who is strapped in below while the driver thinks he's still in the pit, says "Wish I was going with you!"
** Danny, worried about Duke's escape from jail, says to Kate "You don't suppose there's any chance of him coming around here?" Danny does not know that Duke is hiding in the attic.
