 The film actually started filming on 6 November 1935, but was halted  on 8 November 1935 for script revisions. MGM then decided to scrap  what had already been filmed and replaced cast members  Ann Loring (qv) (who had the romantic lead), Una OConnor (qv),  Charles Butterworth (qv), May Robson (qv) and  David Thursby (qv). The setting was also changed from a  contemporay one to World War I.
