No men are seen?

Near the end of Technicolor fashion show segment (a few minutes after the bull), right before the curtain comes down there is an painting on the backdrop of a man in some sort of uniform. What is the source of the claim that "even in props such as portraits only female figures are represented"? Autopilot (talk) 03:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

I have another one. In one scene where Mary Haines chats with Little Mary (before she departs to Bermuda, IIRC), there is an enormous vase or lamp-holder in the shape of a (male) moor standing on his hands.

The claim that The attention to detail was such that even in props such as portraits only female figures are represented, and several animals which appeared as pets were also female. The only exceptions are a poster-drawing clearly of a bull in the fashion show segment and an ad on the back of the magazine Peggy reads at Mary's house before lunch. is therefore erroneous. Also, there is nothing exceptional about "several animals" depicted in the movie being female. Maikel (talk) 09:15, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Why Reno?

Why do "the women" have to go to Reno to get a divorce? Even if you could get a divorce supposedly more easily there, how would that be favourable to them (as opposed to their husbands)? Thanks, Maikel (talk) 09:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

During that period, Nevada deliberately set itself up as the divorce capital of the U.S., by making the residency requirement to bring a divorce action rather short, and by allowing somewhat no-fault divorces to go through. There was a photo taken around that time showing a woman kissing one of the columns of the Reno courthouse because the possibility of a Nevada divorce was such a godsend to her...

"In 1927, Nevada reduced its residency requirement from six to three months, and in 1931, when the other two states seemed about to match it, the requirement was lowered again, to six weeks." -- ISBN 0-521-42370-8

Cultural impact

Is the fact it's the favorite movie of a random actor 80 years later really relevant at all, much less a cultural impact? Does not belong on wikipedia. Sirhephaestus (talk) 01:26, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
