Note that female lead Frances Howard had appeared in just two movies prior to this one. Producer Samuel Goldwyn managed to convince her to marry him less than one month after this movie was released, at which point she retired (with the exception of one movie in 1935), and she remained married to Goldwyn until his death 50 years later. Oddly, she is supposed to have a life-long love for gay director George Cukor, and when she died two years after Goldwyn, she was buried next to Cukor! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
