YMMV / The Palm Beach Story

• Harsher in Hindsight: The Princess says at one point, "Nothing is permanent in this world - except for Roosevelt." Franklin D. Roosevelt was then in the midst of his third term as President, but he died three years later.
• He Really Can Act: Rudy Vallée was still known as a singer whose film work was mainly in musicals when he was cast as Hackensacker. He made such a good impression that he started a second career as a comedic actor.
• One-Scene Wonder: The Weenie King!
• Retroactive Recognition: Frank Faylen has a quick bit as a cab driver. A few years later, he played one again in a rather well-known movie.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: The dual wedding scene at the end closes off with what can be described as an early motion control shot, with the camera dollying back to reveal two sets of twins played by the same actors on opposite sides of the frame, before phasing through end titles painted on glass. Made decades before computer-controlled motion control photography became a thing in movies like A New Hope (1977), the effect is advanced for its time and largely seamless; and adding to its intrigue is a lack of available documentation on how it was made exactly.
