- TriviaThere were only 11 actresses in the movie, not 13. Scenes involving the remaining two, Phyllis Fraser and Betty Furness, ended up on the cutting room floor. Several other roles also were telescoped in the editing process when the film was shortened from its original 73 minutes to 59 minutes for theatrical release.
- GoofsIn the newspaper with the headline "Horoscope Murders Still Baffle Police", there are two other stories with the smaller headlines of "Air Hero Honored" and "Judge Carrol Hands Out Good Advice and Admonitions with Stiff Fines". It can be seen that the text of those stories is composed of random lines of text.
- Quotes
Jo Turner: I do envy you, Laura. To me, life is just an ashtray full of cigarette butts.
Laura Stanhope: Why don't you marry again, Jo?
Jo Turner: Oh, I would if I were sure of getting a kid like Bobby.
Laura Stanhope: What about the present fiancé?
Jo Turner: Oh, he's a lot of fun. But all he wants is a well-stocked cellar, a racehorse, bridge... anything but babies. Laura, why don't you marry again sometime?
Laura Stanhope: No. I could never be dependent on anyone again. I love standing on my own feet.
Jo Turner: I wonder if any woman can.
Laura Stanhope: Why not?
Jo Turner: I say, do you remember how you were always afraid the boys would go too far, and I was afraid that they wouldn't?
- ConnectionsFeatured in Arena: Hollywood Babylon (1991)
Myrna Loy is very beautiful and exotic as Ursula Georgi (which I actually think is an Italian name) who is a half-caste seeking revenge on sorority sisters who kept her out of their group. She uses the power of suggestion, switching their actual horoscopes by mail that they receive from a swami with predictions of doom. One by one, the women die. She ultimately knocks off the swami and turns her sights on the disbeliever of the group, played by Irene Dunne.
Loy would soon break free from exotica with "The Thin Man" series. Mrs. Laurence Olivier at the time, Jill Esmond, appears in the film, as do Ricardo Cortez and Peg Entwhistle. For Entwhistle, the dire predictions in the film played out in real life for her. Shortly after this movie was made, she achieved a lasting fame by committing suicide by jumping from the "Hollywoodland" sign in Los Angeles.
