 The rights to the play was purchased to star  Dorothy Jordan (I) (qv), but Katharine Hepburn (qv) agreed to  play "Trigger" provided she could leave for New York on 16 November  1933 to appear in the play "The Lake". Two final scenes were filmed  for almost 6 hours late on 15 November 1933, but director  John Cromwell (qv) was dissatisfied with the results and wanted to  reshoot them. Miss Hepburn refused at first, citing the terms of her  contract. She then demanded, and received, $10,000 (in addition to  her $50,000 salary) to stay an extra day for the reshoot.
