The film opens with the actual May, 1933 cover of Cosmopolitan magazine; the issue in which Arthur Somers Roche's story appeared. The film went into production in August and was released in September that same year. This film is a tremendous example of how quickly a Hollywood studio could work back then. At the time, Cosmopolitan was a literary periodical, first published in 1886, and didn't become a "women's" magazine until the mid-1960s.
