Cain and Mabel Facts
According to an article from the Rochester Evening Journal by Carol Fitzhugh (June 29, 1936, page 8), all of the clothes that Marion Davies wears in the film are in "ink blue".
The elaborate musical numbers were filmed within stage 7 (now stage 16) at Warner Brothers Studios in Burbank, California.
