Fields' character Bisbee describes a possible scenario involving catching burglars in the basement and drinking with them, a scenario that would be played out in a later film, Man on the Flying Trapeze.
Julian Street's short story, "Mr. Bisbee's Princess," won the 1925 O'Henry prize for comedy.
One of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since.
