Interesting facts

Production

Majestic Pictures attempted to cash in on the "Gold Diggers" concept by naming a feature Gold Diggers of Paris, but Warner Bros. prevented this through legal action, and the filming and release of Gold Diggers in Paris may have been a part of the effort to protect what Warners considered to be their trademark.

The film was in production at the Warner Bros. studios in Burbank from January to March 1938. It premiered in New York City on June 1, 1938, and went into general release on June 11. The film was known as The Gay Impostors in the U.K.
