Based on the Broadway hit by Vincent Youmans, the film was shot during the summer of 1930. Legend has it that production was shut down before the film as completed, but a numerous reports indicated that the film was very near completion when, for obscure reasons, and at Crawford's behest, production came to a halt. Work began to rewrite the script and to remount the project in 1931 with Crawford, and in 1935 with Jeanette MacDonald, but plans never reached fruition.
Press releases attached Harry A. Pollard to this project, but he may not have actually filmed any scenes for it.
