Working titles for this film were Women in White and Diary of a Nurse. Although Hollywood Reporter pre-release news items listed Ann Morriss, Barbara Bedford and Albert Morin in the cast, and noted that nurses Anne Crist, Ethel Schremser and Dorothy Ainsworth were signed to the picture, their appearance in the released film has not been confirmed. A Hollywood Reporter news item published on the day that production on the film began indicated that Gene Raymond was set for the male lead. Hollywood Reporter news items also note that the film marked producer Nat Levine's first picture for M-G-M; and that five-year-old Joy Anderson replaced Cammie King in the part of Susan when King contracted chicken pox after one day's work in a hospital sequence.
