Quotes

Wooster: Georgie, I'm engaged to Florence again.
George: Oh, well, congratulations. That's a bit sudden, isn't it?

Trivia

add »
Goof:
Stilton Cheesewright says that he's surprised at the lax way the Prohibition Laws are enforced in New York. Prohibition ran from the passing of the 18th Amendment in January, 1919 until it was repealed by the 21st Amendment in December, 1933.

However, during the July 4th Costume Ball at the Empire State Building, the band plays the song, Anything Goes by Cole Porter. This song was released in November, 1934; the earliest this Costume Ball could be is July, 1935, which is well after the repeal of Prohibition. (edit)
