💡 Did You Know?

Lionel Barrymore walked with two canes in this film. He suffered from arthritis since at least 1928, but his incapacity in this and later films was due to a broken hip. He first broke the hip in 1936 when a drawing table fell on it, then broke it again early in 1937 when he tripped over a cable while filming Saratoga (1937). He reportedly also broke a kneecap in that fall. The hip never healed and he would later be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life.
