This was re-titled Eleven Men and a Girl when it was sold to television in 1956, in order to avoid confusion with another WB film of the same name, Maybe It's Love (1935), and retains this title today when shown on Turner Classic Movies.
The cast includes members of the 1928 and 1929 All-American football teams. The "Stuart Erwin" who plays Brown of Harvard is a football player, not the actor of the same name; Ray Montgomery is also a football player, and not the actor of the same name.
Laura Lee, billed 4th in the credits, was originally to have been Joe E. Brown's love interest, and shared a couple of songs with him, but was eventually almost entirely cut out. She now only appears briefly in a couple of scenes, and has no interaction with Brown whatsoever.
The play, "The College Widow," opened on Broadway in New York City, New York, USA on 20 September 1904 and closed in May 1905 after 278 performances.
Re-titled 'Eleven Men and a Girl' this film's earliest documented telecasts took place in Buffalo NY Tuesday 1 October 1957 on WBEN (Channel 4), in Tampa FL 11 November 1957 on WTVT (Channel 13), and in Casper WY 25 February 1958 on KTWO (Channel 2).
