1 | * NoStuntDouble: Calling upon his vaudevillian roots, Creator/CaryGrant insisted upon doing his own stunts, including one in which he was lifted up by a railroad-crossing gate. Creator/AnnSheridan even got into the act, driving a 400-pound motorcycle with Grant in the sidecar for a sequence. She navigated the bike expertly, except for an unfortunate run-in with a goose; its death terribly upset the actress, but despite this Sheridan had a positive experience making the film. |
2 | * TroubledProduction: Filming was beset with problems. The German winter was unbearably cold and most of the cast and crew fell ill. Ann Sheridan caught pleurisy (which developed into pneumonia), Creator/CaryGrant contracted hepatitis with jaundice, and Creator/HowardHawks broke out in hives. Production was shut down for three months, until Grant recovered and regained around 30 pounds. As a result, production went on for eight months at a cost of $8 million. |
3 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/AvaGardner was briefly considered for Catherine, but Creator/HowardHawks didn't think she could handle the part. |
