"The year before Cary Grant joined MGM, Kirk Kerkorian and Jim Aubrey convinced him to take a look at the film. Haley, who wanted Grant to narrate a section, recalled, 'Cary, little Jennifer (his daughter), and her nurse sat in MGM’s big theater, and Haley ran the film. Cary started to cry when he saw Jean Harlow and was trying to hide it from his daughter.' Grant declined to narrate, explaining, 'I can't, Jack. I just can't. I can't go in front of that camera.' He then suggested doing the narration off-camera, thinking he'd found a loophole when he heard Gene Kelly's voice recording. Haley, however, said he can't have ten people on camera and one voice-over, asking, 'The audience would wonder what happened to Cary Grant? Did his nose fall off?' Grant said, 'I suppose you're right. And I'd really love to do this, especially for MGM, but I just can't.'"
