Trivia
Considered lost for many years. In the early '80s film historian Ron Haver was searching for missing material for the restoration of Une étoile est née (1954) when he came across a long-forgotten print and negative in the Warner Bros. vaults. The studio had purchased the remake rights for this film from RKO sometime in the mid-'40s and, due to unreliable bookkeeping, misplaced the print and negative in its vaults.

Goofs
(around 1h 18 mins) Tom and Cecelia are sitting shoulder-to-shoulder at a dining table that has a floral centerpiece, and they both have glasses of wine. There's a camera angle change, and when Cecelia leans back in her chair, Tom is holding his glass, but Ci's glass and the centerpiece are gone.

Quotes
Daisy Sage: Behold, the bridegroom cometh. And no oil for my lamp, as usual. A foolish virgin me. Oh, foolish anyway.

very raw

very good movie that the censors couldn't destroy. amazing for it's blatantly adult themes in 1932. the story hasn't aged one bit. lesile howard is brilliant in his role. i saw this on tv one night and searched for half a year to figure out what it was called. fantastic.
