.

The scene in which Ann Carver (
Fay Wray
) wins a breach-of-promise suit for her client by forcing his accuser to lower her dress sleeve to prove that shes really Black was inspired by a famous 1924 court case in New York. Socialite Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander sought to have his marriage to former servant girl Alice Jones annulled on the ground that she was half-Black and had concealed this from him. In the real case, Jones not only had to expose her shoulder but had to strip from the waist up, and the jury members examined her torso in the judges chambers to determine the color of her nipples and therefore decide whether she was Black or white. Also, unlike the rich client in the movie, Rhinelander lost his case.

150 rattlesnakes were used for the scene in the snake field.
