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.
