Trivia
This was silent-picture star Albert Gran's last film; he died in an auto accident after the film was finished, but before it was released. Ironically, in the film's final sequence he and Warren William are racing through the streets of Manhattan in a taxicab to a Board of Directors meeting, but they arrive safely and without incident.

Goofs
Hale Hamilton's character Monroe is said to be a descendant of James Monroe and Benjamin Franklin. James Monroe had two daughters and no sons. Descendants, if any, would not have the surname Monroe.

Quotes
Kurt Anderson: When did YOU develop principles?
Polly Dale: Oh, I saved a couple out of the crash.

Ya gotta love these pre-code flicks. Women looked and acted like real women, and men acted like the cads they often are. Warren William plays the tyrannical owner of a department store down on its luck. He hires and fires with absolute glee, and is an unrepentant womanizer. He hires a new salesgirl, played by the incredibly beautiful Loretta Young, and soon has his way with her. She falls for a fellow employee (Wallace Ford) and marries him secretly. William then turns his attention back to Young and... The film is an absolute hoot, and even includes a highly suggestive rape about-to-happen. Young is almost ethereal in her beauty, but this one's William's film all the way. His character is a cad, but in a strange way, a likable cad.
