Trivia and QuotesQuotes Jerry Bernard Martin: From now on my door is open to every man except for you! Jerry Bernard Martin: [slipping on a diamond ring] Oh, I couldn`t think of accepting such a valuable gift!
Offscreen man: But, my dear, my feeling for you is purely platonic.
Jerry Bernard Martin: Really? I`ve heard of platonic love, but I didn`t know there was such a thing as platonic jewellery.
Trivia Prior to this film, Norma Shearer had primarily played very "proper," ladylike roles. She was eager to change her image and do parts that were more sensuous, so she launched a campaign to get the part of Jerry. MGM producers were skeptical--none more so than Irving Thalberg, who was also Shearer`s husband. To convince him that she could handle a more "sexy" role, Shearer did a photo shoot with her posing provocatively in lingerie, and after seeing the pictures, Thalberg agreed to cast her. The decision paid off, as Shearer won Best Actress at the Academy Awards that year.
