Interesting facts

In Person is a 1935 American romantic musical comedy film directed by William A. Seiter and starring Ginger Rogers, George Brent and Alan Mowbray.

Production

In November 1934, the Hollywood Reporter wrote that Fred Astaire had been RKO's first choice for the male lead in the film. The studio borrowed George Brent from Warner Bros. for the role. Additionally, Ginger Rogers stated in her autobiography that Katharine Hepburn had turned down the role of Carol before Rogers accepted.

Released at the height of the Astaire/Rogers musical partnership, In Person was first and foremost a vehicle to showcase Ginger Rogers' singing and dancing. On a title lobby card for the film, she is billed as "Fresh from her great triumph in 'Top Hat'". Rogers wanted to prove to her public that she was more than just Astaire's dancing partner, and this film highlights her talents as a comedienne.

Parts of the film were shot on location at Big Bear Lake in California.
