This film had a very troubled genesis. First National Pictures originally purchased rights to the play, not realizing that they would need to sign the Duncan Sisters separately. Objecting to the studio's treatment of the material, they refused to sign with First National. They then signed with Joe Schenck of United Artists, forcing First National to sell to United Artists. The salary for the Duncan Sisters was $50,000 and a percentage of the profits.
Myrtle Ferguson's debut.
