Novarro was told by his friend Patrick Brock that Crawford was staying in the same hotel. They called on her at her room and found that she was alone. Crawford was pleased to see Novarro after all those years. They probably hadn't seen each other since Novarro left MGM in 1935. They talked all evening then a few days later, Novarro visited her on the set which was just outside London. Brock asked Novarro if Crawford had changed much since they worked together. Novarro smiled and said, "No. She was a little plumper then." As Danny noted, Ramon Novarro stopped by the set of "The Story of Esther Costello" one day while he was in London on vacation.
