The movie’s line “Why don’t you come up sometime and see me?” was voted as the #26 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).
Mae West was signed by Paramount in 1931 to make a film adaptation of her stage success ‘Diamond Lil’. They then spent the next two years trying to figure out a way of getting the material past the censors. The battle over 'Diamond Lil’ led to the head of the Production Board, James Wingate, quitting and being replaced by the much more hardline Joseph Breen who was prompted to set up a fairly stringent and moral Production Code. In the meantime, 'Diamond Lil’ transformed into the slightly watered down “She Done Him Wrong” and was one of the last films to be made before the introduction of the Production Code.
