Trivia Dorothy Lamour`s first film. The actress who successfully auditions in the "Ah the Moon is Here" number is Gracie Barrie. She is not credited but a 1933 press release identifies her. This film was selected to the National Film Registry, Library of Congress, in 1992.
The film that Guy Kibbee and Arthur Hohl takes James Cagney to see is The Telegraph Trail (1933). In a documentary, The John Garfield Story (2003) (TV), actress Julie Garfield denied that her father, John Garfield, is the sailor-extra he is often credited with being in the "Shanghai Lil" production number. Whoever the extra is, he`s a dead ringer for Mr. Garfield. John Garfield is often credited as being an extra in this film, five years before signing a Hollywood contract with Warner Brothers, but researchers are in dispute over whether it is actually Garfield in the shot, which lasts 5/6 of one second onscreen.
