While Bette Davis praised Edward G. Robinson as a performer and as a person, she was repulsed by having to kiss him.
Re-made as "The Wagons Roll at Night" (1941) with Humphrey Bogart in a carnival setting, and with Elvis Presley as "Kid Galahad" (1962).
The second of five films with Robinson and Bogart, the others being Bullets or Ballots (1936), The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse (1938), Brother Orchid (1940), and Key Largo (1948).
Renamed The Battling Bellhop for TV distribution so as not to be confused with the Elvis Presley version.
Bette Davis won the Volpi Cup for Best Actress at the 5th Venice Film Festival for her performance as Louise "Fluff" Phillips in this film] and as Mary in Marked Woman (1937).
