Note that the source story for this movie was previously filmed with Wallace Reid in 1921 as "The Charm School", and in 1928 as "Someone to Love", but this version was obviously tailored for Joe Penner. Also note that Betty Grable, who had appeared in a bunch of minor bit roles, but was just recently gaining credited parts, was fifth billed, playing a charm school student, but her beauty won her a prominent place on the window card!
