Trivia

A re-shooting of _Vie parisienne, La (1935)_ for an English audience making use of the same crew, sets and leading actors. This was quite common with early European sound films when there would often be three versions of the same film made (in German, French and English and maybe other languages) by essentially the same cast and crew.
