According to contemporary articles in The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Taylor was to direct and Clark Gable was to play the male lead in this picture.
This film was a success at the box office, earning MGM a profit of $139,000 (about $3M in 2024) according to studio records.
Of special note, at about 25 minutes into the film is a shot of a rare pre-war diesel-electric locomotive - a Union Pacific EMC E2, built in 1937. It was one of only two E2 A-B-B sets ever produced. This is probably the "City of Los Angeles" set (LA-1, LA-2, LA-3) that ran the Chicago to Los Angeles route.
The $4,000 per month alimony would equate to over $85,300 per month in 2024.
