We're in the Money was one of eight films that Joan Blondell made with Glenda Farrell. Warner Bros. often starred the charming pair together in similar gold-digging-type roles since they had an on-screen rapport that audiences loved. Affectionately nicknamed "the gimme girls" by the studio, whenever they were working together (according to Matthew Kennedy's 2007 biography Joan Blondell - A Life Between Takes), Blondell and Farrell had great chemistry off-screen too. "'No one would be able to enjoy a case of the blues with Glenda around,' Joan once said. 'She would start to console you and before you realized it, you're laughing.' Farrell's son recalled, 'Joan and my mother were bosom buddies. When they were at Warners together, during their lunch hours, they would go out shopping, and the director would say, 'Where are the girls?' They'd have to go chasing them.'"
