Production
The film was originally called The Bride Said No. Arthur Lubin was assigned to direct in May 1940. Filming started later that month. Hal Block signed to write some last minute comedy dialogue.

Reception
Diabolique magazine called it "a cheerful comedy... so briskly done and well acted that it doesn’t hit you until the movie’s almost over how selfish the lead couple are – Lubin’s empathy for all his characters possibly threw this off balance because all the audience sympathy goes to the partners of O’Keefe and Parrish."
