This movie is credited with the first use and invention of the "Boom Mic." Dorothy Arzner had a tech put the microphone on the end of a fishing pole and had the tech follow the actors to capture the sound.
This film has inaccurately garnered a reputation as a flop when it was actually a huge hit. Despite negative reviews and obvious on-screen technical problems, audiences flocked to hear Clara Bow's voice for the first time.
Assuming its copyright has not lapsed already, this film and all others produced in 1929 enter the U.S. public domain in 2025.
One of the earliest of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by MCA ever since; its earliest documented telecasts took place in Seattle Wednesday 16 September 1959 on KIRO (Channel 7) and in San Francisco Monday 14 December 1959 on KPIX (Channel 5).
