Note that the original Broadway play was a major success that starred Paul Muni. However, Hollywood did not want to make the movie with him, because he was not, to their mind, a big enough star, so they went with Barrymore instead, which is ironic, since Muni was Jewish, as the character was, and Barrymore, of course, was not.
