David Niven once famously shared a house with Errol Flynn was well as making a couple of films with him, so it's interesting to hear Niven take over a role played by his old housemate. He plays the wastrel, weak writer husband of Irene Dunne (taking over for Bette Davis).
Dunne is a good substitute for Davis as I always felt Davis was a bit too strong and sensible for her character; Niven is fine, although Flynn was better casting. Niven tells a joke at the end of the production with Cecil B de Mille.
