 On the film's release, the script was panned by many critics, who alleged it was merely a rewrite of "The Gay Divorcee".This was composer Irving Berlin's first complete film score since 1930 and he negotiated a unique contract, retaining the copyrights to the score with a guarantee of ten percent of the profits if the film earned in excess of $1,250,000.Eight songs from the original score were discarded as they were not considered to advance the film's plot.
