Note that the screenwriter of this movie was Nathanael West, who is far better known for his ultra depressing novels, "The Day of the Locust" and "Miss Lonelyhearts", both of which were turned into depressing movies. In December 1940, he and his wife were killed in a car crash, thus ending a very promising career. He did not live to see the release of this movie, his final screenplay, because it was not released until January of 1941 (even though the posters have 1940 NSS numbers on them).
