Although made by independent Liberty Pictures, Paramount bought the film and distributed it as a Paramount production. According to director William Beaudine, Paramount recut the film so badly that it made little if any sense, contributing to the generally bad reviews it received.
This film originally started production with Dorothy Arzner as director and Ruth Chatterton, Jean Arthur and Fay Wray starring. Midway through production, both director and stars were replaced. Footage from the aborted version of this film, under the working title 'Step-Daughters of War' can be seen in The House That Shadows Built (1931).
