Trivia
This obscure film has a tragic double link with one of Hollywood's best known films about itself: A Star Is Born (1937). Director Tom Forman (1893-1926) and John Bowers (1885-1936) both died by their own hand when their careers declined. Forman's death allegedly inspired Adela Rogers St. Johns's story for What Price Hollywood? (1932) about an alcoholic director on the skids. 4 years later WPF was adapted as A Star Is Born (1937) in which fictional actor Norman Maine's suicide by drowning was allegedly inspired by out of work actor John Bowers - who killed himself in the same manner in Nov 1936 after pleading with Henry Hathaway for a part in his then current production.
