The screenplay was written by John Farrow. Five years later he married actress Maureen O'Sullivan, with whom he had seven children including actress Mia Farrow.
Marion Shilling (Stephanie Brown) recalled from her time on set that Constance Bennett had a huge crush on co-star Joel McCrea and spent a lot of time alone with him in her trailer. Nevertheless, five months after production wrapped, Constance Bennett married Henri de la Falaise, the ex-husband of Gloria Swanson.
This is one of four films co-starring Constance Bennett and Joel McCrea, the others being Born to Love (1931), Rockabye (1932) and Bed of Roses (1933).
This film was a success at the box office, earning RKO a profit of $150,000 (over $3.15M in 2023) according to studio records. It was one of only a few profitable films for RKO in 1931.
