It was the second film made by Fields under her contract with 20th Century-Fox. It was made at Pinewood Studios[1] with sets designed by the art director Oscar Friedrich Werndorff. It was retitled Smiling Along to avoid confusion with another film with the same name, released by Fox in America the same year, and starring Jane Withers.
