Two years after the release of Snowed Under, Genevieve Tobin married Warner Brothers contract director William Keighley. She'd been directed by him in Easy to Love (1934) and would work with him again on Yes, My Darling Daughter (1939) and La vida no es una farsa (1940) --- her final film. She retired from the screen at age 41, stayed married to Keighley until his death in 1984, and lived herself until 1995.
Snowed Under (1936) was based on the story "Snowed Under" by Lawrence Saunders in Liberty (publication undetermined).
As this was a typical Warner Brothers studio programmer, the members of the cast had already appeared together in other films. George Brent and Genevieve Tobin, for instance, had worked together on La favorita (1935); Brent and Glenda Farrell on The Keyhole (1933); Brent and Patricia Ellis on La calle 42 (1933) and Stranded (1935); and Farrell and Tobin on Dark Hazard (1934).
Fan favorite Patricia Ellis also retired soon after this film, even though she appeared in seven movies in 1936 and was at her peak. Perhaps that was the problem --- most of her films were minor features and she never broke into the 'A' list. Among the films she did appear in, through a career of over 40 films through the 1930s, were Picture Snatcher (1933), the notorious, and now-lost, Convention City (1933), The Case of the Lucky Legs (1935), and Pájaros bobos (1938).
The film was given a "B" rating by the National Legion of Decency - morally objectionable in part for all.
