Notes
Reviews dated January 6, 1936 for the Los Angeles preview were the only reviews found for this film; it is unclear whether the film ever received a general release. Daily Variety states that credit for the film's poor production lay with David A. Lundy, who took over half-way through production, when Herman Fowler dropped out. Fowler was the manager of Sunset Studios.
