Amy Lind: Certainly I would, but that doesn`t mean you have to go through all the...
Biff Grimes: You mean - -?
Amy Lind: Exactly.

Trivia
Adapted from a Broadway play that originally opened Feb. 7, 1927 at the Bijou Theatre and ran for 24 performances.
(imdb.com)
Previously filmed at One Sunday Afternoon (1933) with Gary Cooper and Fay Wray. Later filmed again as One Sunday Afternoon (1948) with Dennis Morgan, Janis Paige and Don DeFore.
(imdb.com)
In March 1941, Warner Brothers was distributing this film on a double bill with another comedy, Honeymoon for Three (1941) starring Ann Sheridan and George Brent.
(imdb.com)
Ann Sheridan was originally cast as Virginia Brush but became involved in an acrimonious salary dispute with Warner Brothers. The studio borrowed Rita Hayworth from Columbia, whose career was foundering with clinkers like Blondie on a Budget (1940), and "The Strawberry Blonde" became a big boost to her career. Jack L. Warner liked her work so much that he immediately used her again in another romantic comedy, Affectionately Yours (1941).
(imdb.com)
Even though it is for only a few seconds, we hear Rita Hayworth sing with her own voice. This is believed to be the only time in a film when this happens.
