Warner Bros. had plans for a series of "Janie" films, but those plans were shelved when Joyce Reynolds married and temporarily retired. However, due to the popularity of this film, Warner made one more, Janie Gets Married (1946), with Joan Leslie playing the lead.
At the beginning of the film, the Conway house has a vegetable garden covering the entire front lawn. During WWII, these were called "Victory Gardens" as people were encouraged by the government to be more self-sufficient, and in this case the garden was a prominent sign of patriotism.
The Williams Brothers, including Andy Williams, appear briefly as a singing quartet in the soldier party scene.
Warner Bros. paid $100,000 for the film rights to the play, with $40,000 of that going to Columbia Pictures because they financed the stage production.
