Before this movie was made, any Warner Brothers film which showed a movie marquee would indicate that a movie named "Another Dawn" was playing at the cinema. Unable to come up with a title for this film, they decided to actually create a movie named "Another Dawn."
Korngold composed a title song for the film, with lyrics by Al Dubin, to be sung during the party scene, attended by Errol Flynn and Kay Francis. This was dropped but the music of the song is heard in an instrumental version.
Originally, the film had a different, much longer ending, in which Errol Flynn's character takes the plane out for the impossible mission and dies, allowing the married couple (Ian Hunter and Kay Francis) to be reconciled, thereby also satisfying the Production Code. However, by the time of the preview, Flynn had become such a hot box office property with female moviegoers, the ending was re-shot with Ian Hunter nobly sacrificing himself allowing Flynn to have the fadeout clinch.
