From IMDb:  Australian Errol Flynn's was an unknown when he was cast.

In his biography, "My Wicked, Wicked Ways" Errol Flynn (an infamous prankster) states that he played many pranks on Olivia de Havilland. One of them was leaving a dead snake in her underwear, which she found when she went to put them on. After that she lived in terror of what prank he would pull on her next.


Basil Rathbone took a dislike to Errol Flynn. During their dueling sequence he reminded Flynn that he was being paid considerably more for his part in the picture than Flynn was and then deliberately wounded him in the arm (leaving a permanent scar).

This was the film that helped boost Merle Oberon's career to new heights. She received her only Oscar nod for portraying Kitty Vane, the childhood sweetheart of Allen (Fredric March). The two plan to be married before the onset of WWI but are unable to because Allen is redeployed. So, as fate has it tragedy ensues and she ends up marrying Allen's brother George (Herbert Marshall). I'm not giving away the rest of the film. Great film score by Albert Neumann and a wonderful production from Samuel Goldwyn compliment the three leads. The film was reportedly a major success in 1935. For those interested it was previously filmed in 1925 with Ronald Colman and Vilma Banky in the March and Oberon roles, respectively. The film also stars Frieda Inescort.
