  • Character Outlives Actor: In addition to the Fake Shemp, excuses are made for Jean Harlow's character not being present, like when she's supposed to be having a headache or when she's too emotional to talk to Duke after the big race.
  • Died During Production: Jean Harlow's sudden untimely death occurred in the middle of filming, and MGM briefly considered recasting the role entirely. However, under fan pressure, they decided to instead complete the movie by writing her character out of most of her remaining scenes and using body and voice doubles for a few additional shots.
