Bette had requested Warners buy the play, hoping she would star opposite the increasingly washed up John Barrymore, who much to her disappointment failed the screen test. She rightly predicted that audiences would respond to her in the role of the nice secretary who falls in love with an ordinary working guy (who happens to have written a hit play). Kaufman and Hart's play was adapted by the Epsteins. 'The Oomph Girl' Ann Sheridan was filming Kings Row concurrently. It's shot by Tony Gaudio.
