Note that Myrna Loy's character was based on Amelia Earhart, who would tragically disappear on a solo flight three years later. Also note that this was Cary Grant's first pairing with Myrna Loy. They would not appear together again in the 1930s, but in the 1940s, they made two very memorable movies, "Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House" and "The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer", and one wishes they had made many more movies together!

Important Added Info: Note that these stills are undated and measure 8" x 10", and appear to look identical to stills from the first release of this movie. But they are on a "newer" paper stock that is blank on the back ("newer" than the 1930s or 1940s, but consistent with the paper stock used in the 1960s, and the printing is quite nice). We believe that they were created in the 1960s when this movie was shown on TV, and that stills like these were distributed to TV stations. We have been consigned some large collections of stills that came directly from TV stations, and they included a large number of stills that are very similar to these, which makes us think it is even more likely that these were created in the 1960s for TV use. But we can't say for certain, so please do not bid on these stills unless you can accept that uncertainty as to when they were created. Condition: very good to fine.
