During the filming of the movie, Jean Harlow's husband, screenwriter and director Paul Bern, committed suicide.
When audience polls showed that the American public sympathized with the recently widowed Jean Harlow (1911-1937), whose husband Paul Bern (1889-1932) had committed suicide just three months after their wedding, the head and one of the founders of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio, Louis B. Mayer (1884-1957), ordered director Victor Fleming (1889-1949) not to delay filming and to fully capitalize on the fact that public sympathy for the actress remained strong. Today, this is called "changing one’s tune," because just recently Mayer had suggested replacing Harlow with another actress, fearing that her husband’s suicide under suspicious circumstances could negatively affect box office receipts.
