Note that Lewis Milestone won an Oscar for "Best Director, Comedy Picture" for this film, the first and only year that category appeared in the Academy Awards. Also note that this movie was early in Boris Karloff's career, and he was not prominently billed, and we don't know if he was pictured on any of the posters, because they are super rare, but we doubt that he was, because he played "the purser of the tramp steamer", which certainly wasn't a notable role.
