Much ado was made in the press about the numerous big stars in the cast and how there was sure to be a tumultuous clash of egos. Some journalists referred to this as the "Battle of the Stars," as if they were trying to deliberately egg on the perceived animosity to create a more exciting story.

It also didn't hurt that Edmund Goulding lived up to his reputation as a diplomatic handler of big personalities.
