According to a press sheet on the film in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) Library, writer Kurt Kempler was a former New York police reporter, and the film was based on an actual occurrence. This was his fifth and last screen credit.
This is the best-known film of independent studio Allied Pictures Corp., a company controlled by producer M.H. Hoffman, and one of Hollywood's 'Poverty Row' enterprises, releasing low-budget B pictures from 1931 until its folding in early 1934.
Ginger Rogers (Pat Morgan) and Lyle Talbot (Ted Rand) were at the beginning of their film careers, having previously appeared in 'Il tredicesimo invitato (1932)', another M.H. Hoffman production, and 'Quarantaduesima strada (1933)', one of Warner Bros. Pictures most profitable films of that year.
The failure of the original intellectual property holders to renew the film's copyright resulted in it falling into public ___domain.
The earliest documented telecasts of this film took place in New York City Sunday 17 July 1949 on WPIX (Channel 11) and in Los Angeles Friday 26 May 1950 on KTSL (Channel 2).
