United Producers Corp., the production company that co-sponsored the film with RKO, was established by producer William B. Hawks and actor Ronald Colman. The collaboration marked Hawks's first and last production for RKO and Colman's first picture for the studio. According to pre-production news items in Hollywood Reporter, Hawks was originally slated to produce the picture, but his credit was changed to executive producer when Lewis Milestone took over production chores.

This film did not fare well at the box office for RKO, resulting in a loss of $32,000 ($687,000 in 2024) according to studio records.

The opening has an "introducing Anna Lee" credit, even though she had made 25 films during the previous ten years. The reason is that this was only her second film in Hollywood and her first starring role there. All her other films were made in England.

Contemporary articles in The Hollywood Reporter noted RKO considered Miriam Hopkins and Eva Gabor for the lead role.

When this was filmed, Ronald Colman was aged 50, and Anna Lee who portrays his wife, was 28.
