Hollywood Reporter news items in July 1933 indicate that John Blystone was originally slated to direct. Hollywood Reporter pre-production news items also list actor Philip Merivale in the cast, but his appearance in the final film has not been confirmed. Although contemporary news items noted that John Boles was announced for a top spot in the picture and William Harrigan was slated to recreate his starring role from the original Broadway production of As Husbands Go, neither actor appeared in the released film. Actors Jay Ward, Catherine Doucet and Frank O'Connor appeared in the Broadway production of the play.
