Short description

A temperamental Broadway producer trains an untutored actress, but when she becomes a star, she proves a match for him.

What's left behind the scenes

Later, director Howard Hawks (1896-1977) recounted that he once lost an entire shooting day due to the leading man John Barrymore's (1882-1942) fondness for alcohol, but the actor made amends by working two days for free.
