Jane Powell wrote in her memoirs that Ralph Bellamy "said time and time again, 'That was the worst movie I ever made.' And I'm inclined to agree... I didn't know it wasn't a good film. I had a good time making it." Powell says Morton Gould was "miserable" during filming because he had never made a movie before and was very self conscious.
Brian Aherne and Susan Hayward were announced as her co stars. When Hayward refused the loan-out role, she was suspended by her home studio, Paramount, and replaced by Constance Moore. David Butler was also considered at that time as the film's director. Aherne was replaced by Ralph Bellamy.
An article in the 8 September 1944 edition of The Hollywood Reporter noted when actress Hattie McDaniel became pregnant she was replaced in the role of "Hannah" by Louise Beavers.
When the movie was released in 1945, the critics were not very kind and the movie never recouped its investment.
