At first he thought of Bob Hope for the role of Mortimer Brewster, but could not release his contract with Paramount. Capra also try with Jack Benny and Ronald Reagan before settling on Cary Grant. In theater Boris Karloff played Jonathan Brewster, who "looked like Karloff", but could not participate in the film because the recordings coincided with performances on Broadway.
