The film's working title was Lucky Break and is known as Para alcanzar la Luna in Spain.

The film was originally intended to be a musical with songs written by Irving Berlin but problems soon developed.

Although just five Berlin songs had been recorded, the film, even in its scaled-down form, proved very expensive to make.

[1] The one song that was retained was "When the Folks High Up Do the Mean Low Down" introduced by Bing Crosby who had filmed it late at night after completing his work at the Cocoanut Grove.

He follows Vivian Benton on an ocean liner, where cocktails, laced with a "love potion", work their magic.
