- TriviaThe airplane seen at the end of the film is a 1929 Lockheed Vega, registration NC48M. It was owned by Paul Mantz, a famous stunt pilot and aviation entrepreneur. He was a friend of Howard Hughes and a technical advisor to Amelia Earhart. He owned United Air Services that provided aircraft and pilots for many films, in addition to having an air ambulance service. This particular aircraft was named the "Honeymoon Express" as it flew newlywed couples to Las Vegas and Reno, Nevada and Yuma, Arizona - honeymoon hot-spots at the time. This aircraft was being used for the film "Only Angels Have Wings" (1939) when it crashed upon landing at St. George, Utah and was damaged beyond repair.
- Quotes
Bob Lane: [angrily to Joan as he leaves] You know, I'm pretty good about that cheating business myself! And all that junk I fed you about being in love with ya was just a lot of conversation! Give me a buzz if you want some windows washed! I'm goin' into business! You know, you may not look so bad from the outside!
- Crazy creditsQuite unusually for this era, there's a short pre-credit sequence: a complete refrain of the title song is sung before the main title card is shown. The First National logo zooms toward us out of clouds (just as the WB logo more familiarly does) then Dick Powell is superimposed over the same clouds singing "Happiness Ahead" directly to us.

Lyrics by Irving Kahal
Played on piano and sung by Dick Powell
This is a typical class system comedy, common in the 1930s, in which a rich girl, Joan Bradford (Hutchinson) poses as a poor one and meets a window washer, Bob Lane (Powell). The usual complications arise.
This film is a cut above, thanks to the beautiful singing of Dick Powell, as well as his boyish charm. Powell became success as a serious actor and producer, so my generation was not familiar with his early persona. He's marvelous, and overall, he was so multi-talented, he's probably underrated today.
Frank McHugh gives a lively performance as Bob's best friend.
What I loved about this movie were some of the prices given -- a New Year's Eve Chinese dinner for four, plus floor show, was $12.00 and was considered "the damage." It took three years for Bob to raise $700; and to start his own business would be $2000. There was also a shot of a suitcase -- everyone had this particular suitcase, beige with brown and white stripes down the middle.
Very enjoyable.
