(The film used music from an opera of the same name by Rudolf Friml, but with a totally different plot.)
In 1930, he wrote a new operetta score for film, The Lottery Bride.

Rudolf Jr. was a big band leader in the 1930s and '40s, and William, a son from Friml's third marriage, was a composer and arranger in Hollywood. In 1969, Friml was celebrated by Ogden Nash on the occasion of his 90th birthday in a couplet which ended: "I trust your conclusion and mine are similar: 'Twould be a happier world if it were Frimler." Similarly, satiric songwriter Tom Lehrer made a reference to Friml on his first album, Songs by Tom Lehrer (1953).
