It's kind of funny hearing the mother say things like "oh Pauline" when Spring Byington would later play J. Pauline Spaghetti on Batman.

Great scene with Polly and Apples in the powder room.

Good for Wynn, he had the character to eat the crow he deserved.
This is what I love about this movie, as opposed to today, the writers have the courage to show that both sides have valid points. Today, one side is always shown being 100% right and the other side as being 100% evil.

Today's stories are constructed to uphold a certain political viewpoint and balance with the other side is not an objective.

Vera Ralston would have been great playing the Dutch woman in exile.

Polly cannot forgive Tom for being mean to B.F.

Some hairdresser worked super hard to get Lindsay's curly hair to look like this.

Though Margaret Lindsay has less screen time than the main actors, she is still playing an important character.
And unlike Polly, we did see Apples get married. Polly's marriage to Tom happened off camera.

Tweak Apples "traveling outfit" just a bit and she'd look like a Pan Am stewardess from the 1950s.

I haven't read the book...did Tom have an affair in the book? I get the feeling the adultery angle with the Dutch girl has been toned down.

From the memory of a guy who reads a bunch of books and watches a lot of movies, I believe, yes, they had a affair in the book's version of the story. Good call.
