• In the 3rd episode of the first season, on a diskette with modified drone software, the inscription "johnny mnemonic" is visible.
• The film became so popular that a radio series about the lives of the film's characters was made from it. The first broadcast took place on October 25, 1937, and the series ran for 18 years.
• For the role, Barbara Stanwyck (1907-1990) underwent a physical transformation and aged 15-20 years. She bleached her hair for the first time in her acting career – and it was the only time throughout her career. In all other films where she played blondes, she simply wore a wig – as she did in some scenes in this film. Costume designer Omar Kayam (1894-1954) gave her such garish costumes that they spoke volumes about her character's complete lack of taste. Towards the end of the film, she began to wear rounded padding on her body and legs, wore five pairs of stockings to make her ankles look thicker, and sometimes stuffed cotton wool into her cheeks.
