Production problem
The film was notable for the performance of Baby LeRoy, a one-year-old who had been selected from an orphanage by Chevalier and Taurog for his charming appeal. When certain scenes needed to be re-shot, they found that the baby had grown two front teeth, even though the later scenes would be showing the bare gums. There was no way round this.

Release
The film opened in the week ended April 22, 1933 in Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis, with grosses totalling $90,900 for the week.
