 The movie initially was called "Born to Be Bad" with  Lew Ayres (qv) again starring as Dr.Kildare. After principal  shooting had been completed, Ayres announced he was a conscientious  objector to world war II in which America was then involved. Fearing  adverse publicity, MGM scrapped his footage, replaced him with  Philip Dorn (I) (qv), and changed the title.
