The original title of the film is Busman's Honeymoon, based on a novel by English crime writer Dorothy L. Sayers. It is one of a series of novels featuring bon vivant sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, a writer of crime novels. Being very popular in England, it was not looked on kindly that MGM cast two Americans as the iconic English sleuths.
It took several years to make the movie ... WWII got in the way. Originally Maureen O'Sullivan was cast as Harriet Vane and Robert Donat as Lord Peter. Gee, an almost reunion of Maureen and Bob. (Lucky and Pauline move to England after Lucky gets out of prison, marry and become amateur sleuths. Hey, that's one possible sequel to Hide-Out!)
