Purnell Pratt is in studio records/casting call lists as "Governer", but the role was played by George Irving. Pratt was not seen in the film.
The opening scene features Otto Kruger playing a Pinball Machine. This is the earliest known on-screen appearance of a Pinball Machine in a major production. At the time, flippers had not yet been invented and pinball machines were often used for gambling. There was a lot of public debate at the time as to whether pinball was a game of skill or chance, and it was banned in many parts of the country. The movie played on that debate with Kruger making a bet with his lady-friend, and when complimented for his luck, replies "Not luck - skill."
According to an article in the October 25, 1933 edition of The Hollywood Reporter, George B. Seitz replaced Edgar Selwyn as director for this picture. This was Seitz's first film at MGM.
