Irene Dunne later recalled the scene where she pretends to be Cary Grant’s ill-bred nightclub performer sister, which was written over a weekend and handed to her on the morning she was scheduled to film it. She was supposed to do a burlesque bump in the middle of her musical number, a move she was never able to do. Leo McCarey told her to just say, “Never could do that” when she got to that moment. She did, it stayed in the film, and Dunne found it “a choice comic bit.”
