Movie Class by PizzaFLIX: Universal’s original choice to play Irene was Constance Bennett, but William Powell would only accept the role if Carole Lombard was cast. The film was a runaway hit and earned huge profits for the studio. At the Oscars, it was the first film to be nominated in all four acting categories, plus Screenplay and Direction, but failed to win any awards.
