Billy Wilder (1906-2002) wrote the screenplay while still in Germany, but sold it to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer only after emigrating to the United States.
With the exception of Gary Cooper (1901-1961), all the professors are based on Disney's dwarfs.
During the filming of the simulated slap, Barbara Stanwyck (1907-1990) unintentionally broke Kathleen Howard's (1884-1956) jaw. It is said that the actress was shocked by what happened.
When choosing popular slang expressions of the period, the scriptwriters Billy Wilder (1906-2002) and Charles Brackett (1892-1969)...
Producer Samuel Goldwyn (1882-1974) promised Billy Wilder a $10,000 bonus if the film was successful. The film gained popularity immediately after its release, and Wilder went to Goldwyn and asked him to pay the promised amount. Goldwyn became angry, shouting that he had never promised anything of the sort, and threw Wilder out. That night, Goldwyn’s wife woke up and saw that he wasn’t sleeping, but pacing the bedroom. Goldwyn told her that he had just remembered that he had indeed promised Wilder a $10,000 bonus. His wife asked what he was going to do now. “What choice do I have?” he replied. “I’ll write him a check. For $5,000.”
