Hedy Lamarr was borrowed from Metro Goldwyn Mayer and signed to do the part of Margo/Olga Venescue. The part was more built up originally. When Lamarr got too busy with assignments at her home studio of M.G.M. she suggested her fellow countryman and friend Lenore Aubert, who hadn't been signed to Goldwyn yet and was doing " The Man Who Came To Dinner" at The LaJolla Playhouse in LaJolla when Goldwyn took Lamarr's advice and sent his talent scout to look at Aubert. He did so and right then when calling his boss Sam Goldwyn to tell him how beautiful she is and a Hedy Lamarr type, Sam Goldwyn told him to bring her in and Goldwyn signed her to a seven year contract. Because Dorothy Lamour was a big star Aubert's part was cut down by giving her less to do than if Hedy Lamarr had accepted the role.
