Trivia

No information about the publication of Rowland Brown's story, "A Handful of Clouds," has been found. The story may not have been published.

Lew Ayres, just off his landmark Sin novedad en el frente (1930), was twenty-one years old when this was made. James Cagney, still an unknown, was 31.

This film has been preserved by the Library of Congress.

The working and UK release title of this film was "A Handful of Clouds", which was a mobster slang term at the time referring to the smoke made when a gun was fired - in the days before the commonplace use of smokeless powder in ammunition.

The big limousine that Lew Ayres and Dorothy Mathews (Louis and Doris Ricarno) use while in New York is a 1930 Minerva Series AM. Minerva was a Belgian maker of very high-end luxury automobiles.
