Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEarly in the picture, Loretta Young is discussing a blind date with Patsy Kelly. Loretta says she hopes the guy can dance. Patsy replies that the last one was a corporal that "was as handsome as Gable, and Gable ain't bad!" To which Loretta replies, "Oh I'll say not!" This is ironic because when filming "The Call of the Wild" the year before this film was released, Loretta had an affair with Clark Gable, leading to the birth of their daughter, Judy Lewis. Audiences at the time didn't realize the irony since this secret affair wasn't made public until years later.

Ellen Neal: I'm talking about love Dick. You're talking about marriage. I couldn't marry you because... it would just be a mistake. That's all.

Featured review
A very fun film featuring Loretta Young's glistening eyes.
"Private Number" is a most enjoyable film that may be largely unknown among most buffs of older films today. But it has a very pleasing cast , good dialog, beautiful sets and costuming, a dastardly Basil Rathbone, the beautiful voice of a young Robert Taylor, and the gloriously glistening eyes of Miss Loretta Young. How did they do that with her eyes? She was such a fine and watchable actress, her performance here nuanced and anticipatory in her give and take with the troupe, even though the production was likely on a conveyor-belt schedule.
It isn't one of the all-time great films, but it is a very good and worthwhile one. The film's subject matter may have even made a lot of those in the 1936 movie audiences a bit uncomfortable.
