Trivia
Studio officials sent out more than 10,000 questionnaires to college students, and screened the film with both endings at UCLA and USC in order to see which conclusion audiences preferred.

Released at about the same time as My Favorite Wife (1940). "My Favorite Wife" deals with a husband, his 1st wife who was presumed dead, and his new wife whom he has just married. This one deals with a wife with two husbands. Both did well at the box office.

The script was initially ruled too scandalous to produce by the MPAA, which cited the film's "apparent lack of any respect for the sanctity of marriage; its farcical treatment of the subject of bigamy; and its very frank and detailed discussion of the unsavory subject of divorce by collusion." It is unclear what changes to the script were made to satisfy the censorship board, but the revised version of the script finally received the MPAA's stamp of approval.
