Buster Keaton wanted this film to be a full talkie, but MGM released it with only a musical score and sound effects.
Buster Keaton's final silent feature, as well as the final film in which MGM allowed him any creative control.
The scene in which Buster Keaton puts his inebriated bride to bed was later performed on stage by Keaton and his third wife Eleanor Keaton. It is also re-enacted in The Buster Keaton Story.
