The film was a vehicle for Howard Hughes’ mistress Billie Dove.
Though it was a commercial failure, it did not stop Hughes funding another film for Billie Dove.
The film’s music includes “I’m Chuck Full of Kisses” (music by Alfred Newman, lyrics by screenwriter David Silverstein) and “Just Another Night” (again by Alfred Newman, Con Conrad and David Silverstein).
