Fox Film Corp.The play on which this film was based was a revised version of the unpublished play It Couldn't Happen Twice by Molly Ricardel and William DuBois (copyrighted in 1932). According to the onscreen credits, the engineering scenes were filmed on location at Boulder Dam (which was renamed Hoover Dam in 1947). The NYT review notes that the film's title was taken from a line in Edna St. Vincent Millay's lyric poem "Thursday." Although the producers of the film failed to obtain permission from Millay to use her poem in the film, the lines, "And if I loved you Wednesday,/Well, what is that to you?/I do not love you Thursday--/So much is true" appeared in the program of the play's engagment at the Sam H. Harris Theatre. A FD news item indicates that the song "My First Love to Last," which was used as a dance tune in the film, was taken from the 1931 Fox film Adorable (see above), and that Sam Coslow, a well-known orchestra leader and songwriter, made his screen debut in the film in the role of the orchestra conductor. ...
