Alan Mowbray, Billie Burke, and Constance Bennett had worked on director Norman Z. McLeod's previous film, Topper (1937). The commercial and critical success of Topper played a large role in their inclusion in this film.
The family's car is a Dusenberg Model J. Only 481 were built from 1928 to 1937. Each car had custom coachwork, with prices ranging from $13,500 to $25,000 ($284,000 to $525,000 in 2022). At auction, in excellent condition, these cars can fetch more than $1,000,000 and sometimes much more depending on its pedigree (e.g., the one owned by Clark Gable). The car is backed into and hits another Dusenberg - a model JN, of which only 10 were built. In 2021, one sold for over $1.3M. So, in one scene, there were two cars together worth well over $2M in 2024.
Although not credited onscreen or noted by reviewers or the SAB, this film is so similar to What a Man (1930) (same plot and even many of the same character names) that the source of the screenplay most likely was the same for both films. The 1924 novel "The Dark Chapter; a Comedy of Class Distinctions" by E.J. Rath and the play "They All Want Something" have been added to the writers' section. The play opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 12 October 1926 and closed in December 1926 after 62 performances.
