Ross Alexander, who plays Chick, and Anne Nagel who plays the "other" stenographer, were soon to be married in September, about four months after the production of this film.

They appeared in two other 1936 Warner Bros. films subsequent to this one - China Clipper (1936) and Here Comes Carter (1936).

Based on the play of the same title that opened in New York City at the George M. Cohan Theatre, 1482 Broadway, on November 7, 1931 and ran for 9 performances.
