Trivia
Film debut of Ann Rutherford. NOTE: She got the part after actress Anne Darling walked off the film and out of her contract to marry an insurance executive. At the time Ann was performing on a Los Angeles radio show. A producer at Mascot Pictures saw her picture in the newspaper and thought she looked enough like Anne Darling that casting her would enable the studio to complete the movie.

Superior Poverty Row product

This 1935 Poverty Row picture, competently directed by Joe Santley, much of it played on the cheapest waterfront set that Mascot Pictures could build, benefits from an extremely appealing cast headed by the very likable Frank Albertson with lovely Anne Rutherford in her first role. Both are very natural. They are surrounded by a number of familiar faces- J. Farrell MacDonald, Ward Bond, Jack La Rue, Mary Gordon, and even Smiley Burnett as a mustachioed Italian accordion player. He also wrote the songs. The script by Wellwyn Totman is much better than the usual Mascot fare. Fast-moving and entertaining. A lot of value for the buck.
