This film features the word "Damn", six year and ten months before Vom Winde verweht (1939). At 23:49 seconds, the phrase "Damned Old Hypocrite" is used.
In the original release Rex Lease and Vera Reynolds were billed 1-2, but in later post-King Kong und die weiße Frau (1933) re-releases Mischa Auer and Martha Mattox replaced them as top-billed, and instead of a lone gorilla as in 1932, the ape carried a half-clothed woman in the '38 release.
The film was originally refused a UK cinema certificate in 1932, and released uncut and PG rated in 2010.
This film is one of over 200 titles in the list of independent feature films made available for television presentation by Advance Television Pictures announced in Motion Picture Herald 4 April 1942. At this time, television broadcasting was in its infancy, almost totally curtailed by the advent of World War II, and would not continue to develop until 1945-1946. Because of poor documentation (feature films were often not identified by title in conventional sources) no record has yet been found of its initial television broadcast; its earliest documented telecasts took place in Cincinnati Friday 30 September 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11) and in New York City Tuesday 22 August 1950 on WATV (Channel 13).
You can tell Mischa Auer is a trained violinist by the way Hans carries his violin and bow when he emerges from his room to talk to Ted Clayton.
