Trivia:
In the book, there are discussions about abortion between Doctor Bull and Virginia Banning. These were dropped from the script after a complaint from the Hays Office. In the movie, there is just a vague notion she is pregnant. Also, the character of Larry Ward had a venereal disease in the book, but in the film he's just a hypochondriac.

Will Rogers stars in this little slice of Americana. He's the town's only doctor and a bit of a ladies' man. He's also the source of most of the local old maids' gossip. Which gives Will a great chance to use his special brand of humor to skewer the foibles of the human creature.
John Ford provides good atmosphere. This would be the first of 3 pictures he would make with Will. Rochelle Hudson shows why she was one of the prettiest actresses of the early '30's and Andy Devine is hilarious as a hypochondriac who is the bane of Doctor Bull's existence.
