Intended to be the first of a series, the idea was abandoned after a lack of critical and public success.
Despite being the star, Christabel Leighton-Porter's name appears nowhere in the film's publicity material. In the opening credits, she is billed merely as "Jane".
The first film made by Brighton Film Studios.
Based on Norman Pett's comic strip which ran in the Daily Mirror from 1932 to 1959. 'Jane Gay', usually inadvertently losing most of her clothing in the course of her adventures, was particularly popular during the war, but an attempt to launch her in the US in 1945 failed with American readers finding the humor too sexual.
