Louis Sarecky, the film's assistant producer, wrote the original story, which Forrest Halsey and Alfred Jackson adapted for the screen. Despite being largely a drama, the film contains numerous comic elements. The film focuses on class divisions and stereotypes between the working and upper classes, which were especially prevalent during the Great Depression, when the film was filmed. The film also highlights the existing stereotyped gender roles of the period.
