This was originally intended to be a John Barrymore vehicle. However Barrymore's alcoholism was catching up with him and his memory repeatedly failed. After three days of production with virtually nothing shot, the producers were forced to replace him with Ricardo Cortez.
An English translation ("A Hat, a Coat, a Glove" by William A. Drake) of Wilhelm Speyer's German play, "Ein mantel, ein Hut, ein Handschuh", opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 31 January 1934, but closed after 13 performances. The opening night cast included Nedda Harrigan, Boyd Irwin and Philip Van Zandt.
Some cast members in studio records/casting call lists did not appear or were not identifiable in the movie. These were (with their character names, if any): Louise Beavers (Imogene), Tom Brown and Wilbur Higby (Mr. Gardner), who was replaced by Arthur Hoyt for that role.
