Broadway flop in film history.
Al Jolson would buy the rights to the play cheaply and sell them to Warner Brothers with the proviso that Cagney and Blondell be cast in the film version. It is unknown why Jolson, never known as a benefactor, chose to include this requirement and, oddly, he and Cagney would never meet. Keighley would also follow to Hollywood and find employment at Warner Brothers.
