Also starring Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Guy Standing and Charlotte Granville
When Gary Cooper first met Shirley Temple on the set of this movie, he asked her for her autograph.
Shirley Temple memorized every line of dialogue in this movie, and whenever Gary Cooper forgot or fumbled his lines, Temple prompted him, much to Cooper's annoyance.
