3 unusual facts about Her Cardboard Lover


Her Cardboard Lover

The screenplay by Jacques Deval, John Collier, Anthony Veiller, and William H. Wright is based on the English translation of Deval's play Dans sa candeur naïve by Valerie Wyngate and P.G. Wodehouse.

The film is the third screen adaptation of the play, following The Cardboard Lover in 1928 and The Passionate Plumber in 1932.

In December 1934, MGM production chief Irving Thalberg announced his plan to adapt the play for a musical starring Maurice Chevalier and Grace Moore, but the project never came to fruition.
