Interesting facts

The Golden Arrow (1936) is an American comedy film directed by Alfred E. Green and starring Bette Davis and George Brent. The screenplay by Charles Kenyon is based on a story of the same title by Michael Arlen published in the September 14, 1935, issue of Liberty.

Production

Although audience reaction to the film, originally titled Cream Princess, at a preview in Long Beach, California, was dismal, Warner Bros. Pictures rushed it into release to capitalize on leading lady Bette Davis' Academy Award-fanned fame for 1935's Dangerous.

The actress was upset with the publicity for the film, which she thought was ridiculous, and included mention of her Oscar win. "This film was the beginning of the end, temporarily, of my contract with Warner Bros.," she later recalled. "I was actually insulted to have to appear in such a cheap, nothing story as The Golden Arrow after Of Human Bondage, The Petrified Forest, and Bordertown."
