5-year-old Robert Blake's uncredited role marked his feature film debut. He would then go on to play "Mickey" in the "Our Gang" shorts at MGM until the series ended in 1944.
Billie Burke broke her ankle during filming, causing the film to be 9 days behind schedule. She finished her subsequent scenes from a wheelchair.
Originally titled "Maiden Voyage", the film was re-titled to take advantage of the marriage of Annabella and Tyrone Power shortly after this picture was completed - according to a contemporary article in Variety.
