Joan Crawford's brother Hal appears in a bit part in this film.
Joan Crawford had a brief affair with Spencer Tracy on the set of the film.
There were scenes shot of Crawford and Tracy aboard ship, probably on their way to their European honeymoon, evidenced by stills of Crawford from this film standing at a ship's rail in an evening gown and jacket that appear nowhere else. These scenes apparently were later cut.
This was the only picture in which popular M-G-M stars Joan Crawford and Spencer Tracy, two of MGM's top stars of the era, appeared together. They recreated their roles on radio for M-G-M's Maxwell House program in Nov 1937. In Crawford's 1971 autobiography My Way of Life, the actress said she and the actor got along famously.
This film did well at the box office, earning MGM a profit of $475,000 ($8.5M in 2018) according to studio records.
