The film was rejected in Ireland, New Zealand, and British Columbia because it might have created fear in expectant mothers. Scenes of expectant mothers experiencing labor pains, as well as scenes of actual or suggested childbirth were purposely omitted. In fact none of the expectant mothers even looked pregnant.
Based on the play "Life Begins" (also the title of the original film version) which opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA at the Selwyn Theatre, 227 W. 42nd St. on 28 March 1932 but closed after only 8 performances. In the cast were Glenda Farrell, Mildred Dunnock, and Frank Wilcox.
