Although Carole Lombard was brought on board on the basis of her successful pairing with this film's co-star, Norman Foster, in It Pays to Advertise (1931), Nancy Carroll was initially set to play the film's female lead.
Originally planned as a Paramount east-coast production starring Nancy Carroll, she was eventually replaced by Carole Lombard and production was moved to Hollywood.
One of over 700 Paramount productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may have never been televised.
The stage play on which this film is based was adapted into a stage musical, "Everybody's Welcome" in which Oscar Shaw ("The Cocoanuts") played the lead. The show ran for an unimpressive 139 performances in 1931-32 but gave the world the song "As Time Goes By."
