Trivia

Final film of William Haines, who retired from acting and became a successful interior decorator.

This film's initial USA television broadcast took place in New York City Tuesday 22 August 1939 on New York City's newly launched experimental television station W2XBS, which would not reach commercial status as WNBT (Channel 1) until almost 2 years later on 29 June 1941. Post-WWII televiewers got their first look at it in Boston Sunday 9 January 1949 on WBZ (Channel 4), and in Cincinnati Thursday 6 October 1949 on WKRC (Channel 11), although an earlier undocumented airing on WLW-T (Channel 4) is also likely.

The failure of the original copyright holder to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public domain, meaning that virtually anyone could duplicate and sell a VHS/DVD copy of the film. Therefore, many of the versions of this film available on the market are either severely (and usually badly) edited and/or of extremely poor quality, having been duped from second- or third-generation (or more) copies of the film.
