Before this movie was made, any Warner Brothers film which showed a movie marquee would indicate that a movie named "Another Dawn" was playing at the cinema. Unable to come up with a title for this film, they decided to actually create a movie named "Another Dawn."
Erich Wolfgang Korngold composed a title song for the film, with lyrics by Al Dubin, to be sung during the party scene, attended by Errol Flynn and Kay Francis. This was dropped but the music of the song is heard in an instrumental version.
Errol Flynn toasts Kay Francis, saying, "Here's to the colonel's lady." She, the wife of the colonel, replies, "And here's to the Judy O'Grady she'd like to be." She is referring to the poem by Kipling about all women being alike in their desires which contains the famous line "For the colonel's lady and Judy O'Grady are sisters under their skins."
Kay Francis - who was 5'9" tall - enters a scene in 4-inch heels which would make her 6'1" tall. She meets with Errol Flynn who was 6'1" tall. Flynn is standing on a platform and then they sit down so any height similarity or disparity is hidden. When they move to the main floor of the room, Francis is suddenly much shorter than Flynn.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold recycled the love theme from this film for the opening of his 1947 Violin Concerto.
