The movie features only a few minutes in which eyewear is shown. Each time the glasses are awfully stereotypical. The clich é is even derogatory in the portrayal of two minor female characters. They are presented as personalities who are amusing but hardly to be taken seriously. In two male characters, the glasses are a clich é related to their profession and their age. There is the scene in which Cary Grant's character has drawn everyone's attention in the War Relief headquarters by announcing that he wants to donate $70,000. A woman, who demonstrates more authority than she obviously has, puts on her horn-rimmed pince-nez and demands that he repeats his offer. When he does so, she lets the specs drop off her nose. Florence Bates (as na ï ve Mrs. Van Every) handles her horn-rimmed glasses as often as she does the needles as she overzealously teaches a reluctant Cary Grant how to knit. Again we see horn rims as Vladimir Sokoloff dons readers in the role of the Greek priest who translates a letter for Grant in the plot's major turning point. Finally, supporting actor Henry Stephenson (as banker Bryant) is shown in one scene with metal-rimmed readers when sitting in his office at the bank.

- Bernard Nedell as Attorney Morton Gellman who reads a last will through the round lenses of a horn rimmed pince-nez with a ribbon attached to the right eyepiece. Scarcely or not after that scene.
- Douglas Fowley wears round horn rimmed glasses almost throughout the movie as Henry Rutherford. One of the other characters - heeding the old adage never to hit a man with glasses - takes Henry's glasses off and then hits him.
- William Edmunds is introduced wearing a horn rimmed pince-nez as Professor Hilton during the reading of the will. They look quite similar to the pince-nez glasses the attorney is shown with. So much so, that there may well have been only one pair on the set, both actors using them in turn. Again, after that scene the professor is scarcely or not seen with the glasses again.

Alexander Knox as President Woodrow Wilson.
A female actor who plays one of Wilson's daughters. I'll have to watch the movie again to find out which one.
For his role as Wilson, Knox was nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor in a Leading Role and he won a Golden Globe as Best Motion Picture Actor (both in 1945).

- Phillip Terry (2b verified) in a supporting role as Wick Birnam.
- Inclusion based on stills and poster art.

Peter Lorre is Hilary Cummins who uses silver rimmed eyeglasses (with round lenses and straight earpieces) to read with.

Charles Laughton uses a rimless pince-nez with cord attached to the right lens in the role of Judge Lord Thomas Horfield.

Frank Orth in a minor role as Floyd Greer (a journalist).

Jean Arthur as congress woman Phoebe Frost.
