The scenes in which Herbert Marshall is running up and down the stairs at Madame Colet's were done with a double who is only seen from the rear. Mr. Marshall lost a leg in WWI and although it was almost impossible to notice that he used a prosthesis, he could not perform any action that called for physical agility.

This movie was popular both with critics and with audiences, but was made before the enforcement of the production code. After 1935, it was withdrawn from circulation and was not seen again, except at museums and archival institutions until it was sold to MCA and released for television in 1958. It became available on DVD in 2003.

In an interview near the end of his life in 1947, director Ernst Lubitsch thought that this film was his best work.

Although Miriam Hopkins got top billing, she's got the least money of the three stars: $1,750/week. Kay Francis got $4,000/week with 6 weeks guarantee and Herbert Marshall got $3,500/week.

The movie was not approved for re-issue in 1935 when the Production Code was being rigorously enforced. In 1943 Paramount re-submitted the script with the intention of producing a musical version and was denied.
