Short description
Successful movie director John L. Sullivan, convinced he won't be able to film his ambitious masterpiece until he has suffered, dons a hobo disguise and sets off on a journey, aiming to "know trouble" first-hand. When all he finds is a train ride back to Hollywood and a beautiful blonde companion, he redoubles his efforts, managing to land himself in more trouble than he bargained for when he loses his memory and ends up a prisoner on a chain gang.
What's left behind the scenes
- Veronica Lake was six months pregnant when filming began. Until that point, only Edith Head, the costume designer, and Louise Sturges, the director's wife, knew about it from the film crew. Edith Head created outfits for Veronica Lake that helped conceal the pregnancy. Veronica Lake feared she would be banned from filming due to her pregnancy, as her role involved physical exertion.
- Barbara Stanwyck and Frances Farmer auditioned for the lead female role.
- Photographs of one of the film's producers, Paul Jones, were used for the portrait of Joseph, the late husband of Miss Zeffie, whose facial expression changed throughout the scene.
- Joel McCrea was the only actor director Preston Sturges envisioned in the role of John Sullivan.
- After filming concluded, Joel McCrea refused to appear in any film with Veronica Lake.
