A long-unsubstantiated rumor has existed that all prints of this film were recalled by Warner Bros and destroyed. Ron Hutchinson, the founder of The Vitaphone Project, has written that the studio's negative materials were recorded as "junked" in 1948, however there is no evidence that the studio went out of its way to destroy the roughly 500 35mm theatrical prints of the film that would have been struck over the years.
No copies of this film can be found.
Joan Blondell, in one of her books, claimed to have kept a copy of this film in her personal collection, so she could bring it out and screen it for friends at parties. This copy cannot be located.
Opened in Los Angeles at the Warner Bros Hollywood and Downtown theaters on 1/11/34. The ad's tagline read, "The comedy that tops all comedies. He's on the make . . . and she's out to take! "Convention City" The place where Convention Cuties step in when the Travelling Salesmen step out . . ."
On 10/5/35 Jack L. Warner sent an inter-office memo to Hal B. Wallis telling him to make sure that this film';s star, Joan Blondell, wore a brassiere. He wrote, "We must put brassieres on Joan Blondell and make her cover up her breasts because otherwise we are going to have these films stopped in a lot of places. I believe in showing their forms but, for Lord's sake, don't let those bulbs stick out. I'm referring to her gown in " CONVENTION CITY".
