 Faye's popularity skyrocketed as a result of the picture, and she was reunited with Power and Ameche that same year for "Alexander's Ragtime Band", which proved to be even more successful.Some sources claim that MGM offered to loan both Harlow and Clark Gable to Fox for "In Old Chicago" if they reciprocated by loaning Shirley Temple to MGM for their upcoming production of "The Wizard of Oz".However, this is merely a rumor, as Harlow died in June 1937, several months before MGM had even purchased the rights to "Oz".
