[4] It was shot at the Culver Studios of RKO.
A young American girl in London in the midst of the Great Depression attempts to commit suicide by drowning herself in Hyde Park. She is rescued by a trio of homeless park-dwellers who nurse her back to health. One of them, Archer, is an aspiring politician; he and Ann fall in love as they all look for work.
A reviewer in Variety wrote, "The attempt to recall Seventh Heaven , both in the title and some of the plot material, is obvious." [5]
