The last film under the Fox Film Corporation banner before its merger with 20th Century Pictures to form 20th Century Fox.
Several cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names): William 'Billy' Benedict (Hotel Bellboy), Ruth Donnelly (Marina), Sarah Edwards (Old Dowager), Tom Herbert (Throat Specialist in Theatre), Hector V. Sarno (Italian Proprietor), Lee Phelps (Ghita's Chauffeur) and Hank Mann (Bartender). Since the film is listed as a 10-reel movie, there must have been extensive cutting to pare it down to the final 79 minutes, which would normally require only 8 reels.
The standard "Last Night When We Were Young," composed by Harold Arlen and E.Y. Harburg, was written for this film, to be sung by Virginia Bruce, but was delete from the release print. Co-star Lawrence Tibbett recorded the song but it survives only as background music in Metropolitan (1935). Ironically, "Last Night When We Were Young" was recorded by Judy Garland for In the Good Old Summertime (1949) but ultimately deleted from that film as well.
