Bolger, McLerie and Horace Cooper reprised the performances they originated on Broadway. Produced by the British branch of Warner Brothers, it was shot at Teddington Studios in London. Some scenes were filmed on location in Oxford the setting for the comedy. The film's sets were designed by the art directors David Ffolkes and Albert Witherick. Despite a leading role here, this was one of only two films made by Robert Shackleton (1914-1956), the other being Wonder Boy (1951). With its run at New York’s Radio City Music Hall, he appeared in the stage show.
It earned an estimated $1.5 million at the North American box office in 1952. [3]
