 According to Katharine Hepburn (qv)s autobiography "Me", director  John Ford (I) (qv) lost interest in the film when he discovered  that the plot was not particularly strong. She recalls one day Ford  announced that he was leaving early and would allow Hepburn to  direct a scene with Fredric March (qv). Hepburn feared that March  would not listen to direction from her, but when he acquiesced she  directed her first and only scene.
