Interesting facts
Once in a Blue Moon is a 1935 American drama film directed by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur and starring Jimmy Savo, Nikita Balieff and Cecilia Loftus. It was one of four films the writing-directing team produced at the Astoria Studios in New York. It was, along with Soak the Rich, a critical and commercial disaster. Hecht and MacArthur also attempted, unsuccessfully, to avoided certification problems with the film by ignoring the Production Code Administration and sending it straight to Joseph Breen.
