One of the earliest of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. However, because of legal complications, this particular title was not included in the original television package and may not have ever been televised.
Production was interrupted when a fire destroyed the studio's new sound stages. Sets for this film were hastily constructed and heavy drapes were used as improvised sound insulation to shield them against street noise.
This was Paramount's first musical.
