One of a number of early 1930s films such as American Madness (1932) and Prosperity (1932) made on the subject of business corruption and banking practices in the wake of the Stock Market Crash of 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression. In many cases, when reviewing the screenplays of these films prior to production, the censors demanded that such films must instill "confidence in banking institutions" and "big business" in the average American. The studios begrudgingly obliged.
The earliest documented West Coast telecasts of this film took place in San Francisco Wednesday 9 September 1952 on KRON (Channel 4), and in Los Angeles Thursday 23 October 1952 on KECA (Channel 7).
